Work With Us!

Santa Cruz Opera Project is seeking volunteer performers for a unique opera fusion open mic event following our immersive production of Bach’s Coffee Cantata at Mariposa Coffee Bar this April.


What We’re Looking For:

Here are some ideas, but we’re open to anything creative and unexpected!

  •  Opera with a twist – classical meets unexpected! (e.g. an aria with alternate accompaniment such as guitar or banjo)

  • Genre-bending performances – opera fused with jazz, folk, pop, spoken word, etc.

  •  Creative storytelling – fresh takes on classical works or new compositions inspired by the coffeehouse setting.

How to Submit:
Send us a video sample of your concept and a brief description of your piece. Virtual submissions only, upload to google drive or youtube and send us the link

 Deadline: February 28, 2025
