West Bay Opera Chorus West Bay Opera Chorus Information Auditions for the all-volunteer West Bay Opera Chorus are held separately for each show. Procedures vary depending on the conductor, but prepared pieces and individual appointments are seldom required. Here is the remaining chorus rehearsal schedule for Les contes d'Hoffmann .
All calls are for tutti unless otherwise noted.
Please note that rehearsals at the Holt Building are open, but rehearsals in the theatre are closed to all but staff. For links to a few more general glossaries, see below. The chorus is seldom called for brushups unless it has an unusually important and difficult role, but all cast members are expected to keep the date open until the brushup calls are announced, which will generally be at the last performance of the first weekend. As WBO is a community theater, cast members are encouraged to help the crew and staff with load-in and strike. Principals often mark at long staging rehearsals, when they have unusually heavy loads, or have health concerns, but there is seldom reason for choristers to mark.
