ANCHORAGE OPERA SEEKS TENORS & BASSES FOR MACBETH

Anchorage Opera is seeking tenors and basses to join the chorus for its November 2026 production of Verdi’s Macbeth at the Discovery Theatre.

Rehearsal Period: October 1–November 10, 2026
Performances: November 12, 14 & 15, 2026
Venue: Discovery Theatre, Anchorage

Chorus members are eligible for reimbursement of expenses of up to $75 and will receive complimentary tickets to the final dress rehearsal.

Join Anchorage Opera for one of Verdi’s most thrilling and powerful works—and be part of an exciting opening to the 2026–27 season.

We can accommodate a few rehearsal conflicts! If you are interested, please contact Kaylee Wagle at [email protected]

We're so inspired by this important work being produced here in Alaska and grateful to all those involved in its creation. Sending best wishes to Perseverance Theatre for a successful run!

The opera, performed entirely in Tlingit, draws on accounts of the conflict passed down through the generations, as well as written historical records.
