One last chance to audition for Wichita Grand Opera

If you missed auditions for the Wichita Grand Opera’s production of “Noah’s Flood” last month, you’ll have one more chance before the show must go on.

The Wichita Grand Opera is staging a production of “Noah’s Flood” in June, and it’s holding auditions for children and adults from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 600 N. Greenwich.

Auditions will be held for the singing roles of Noah’s three sons and their wives, ages 12 to 19; the four Gossips, the friends of Mrs. Noah, adult women singers; and a raven and a dove, performed by dancers ages 10 to 14. Some stage experience in singing, acting and/or dance is recommended.

Full details on the auditions, and information on how to sign up are available at www.wichitagrandopera.org/auditions.

Benjamin Britten, who wrote many of his works to be performed by children, is well-known for his composition “A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” – also featured in “Moonrise Kingdom.”

Performances of “Noah’s Flood” will be June 9 at Wichita’s Holy Cross Lutheran Church and June 11 at the McPherson Opera House.

The new production design is created by WGO founder and artistic director Margaret Pent.
