The Dallas Opera searching for a few eunuchs for upcoming production

by PegNews wire

The Dallas Opera is looking for a few good…eunuchs (no experience necessary-acting, or otherwise).

The company is pleased to announce an Open Casting Call for the final performances of the 2008-2009 Season, to be held Tuesday, February 10th (Contact Emily Gast at The Dallas Opera for times and location, pa@dallasopera.org or 214-443-1037).

For The Dallas Opera’s upcoming presentation of Rossini’s zany culture-clash comedy, The Italian Girl in Algiers, we are currently seeking the following:

• “Vlad the Impaler,” Chief servant, male, large, capable of an ominous appearance. Some musical ability and enough acting chops to portray a mean, low-down snarling S.O.B.
• Two Guards, also male, tall, intimidating. Girth is no object.
• Two Eunuchs, male (how did you guess?), one tall, one short, absolutely no experience necessary.

If you would fit in an “Indiana Jones” movie, you might be the one they ’re looking for! Auditions are by appointment only.

Evening and weekend rehearsals begin on Wednesday, February 11th with four performances (three nights, one Sunday matinee) in the first half of March.

Monetary compensation will ensure that you’re not driving on fumes. Work with professional artists, singers, musicians and directors. Enliven your résumé! Impress your co-workers!

For additional details or to schedule your audition, please contact Dallas Opera Production Assistant/Super Coordinator Emily Gast at pa@dallasopera.org or call 214-443-1037 for an appointment.
