Open Auditions are for New England resident solo classical singers. Performers are given a time slot on a first-come-first-served basis. Singers are given 4 minutes (6 minutes if both the singers and the accompanist are auditioning) to present themselves in whatever way they feel is best. Excerpts of pieces are allowed. This will be strictly timed. Literature performed will be from the standard opera, oratorio repertoire. A small percentage of singers from the open auditions are invited back to participate in the fall BSR Showcase (formerly termed the 'Select Auditions').
