opera roanoke chorus

The dedicated members of the Opera Roanoke Chorus are the backbone of community involvement in our mainstage productions. Under the leadership of Chorus Master, Josh O'Dell, chorus members perform in fully staged productions, concerts, and at engagement and fundraising events throughout the season. 

The Opera Roanoke Chorus always welcomes auditions for new members! You do not need to have a professional background in singing.  Our chorus includes teachers, healthcare workers, church musicians, and college students - people from all walks of life who enjoy singing. If you have an interest in sharing your talents as part of the Chorus, send an email to jodell@operaroanoke.org.
