Audition call

While Covid-19 has stopped performance for the moment, one local company have been busily preparing for the return of theatre with some exciting plans.

Belfast Operatic Company have just announced their next show as ‘A Christmas Carol’, written by prolific Disney composer Alan Menken, which will be performed in the newly refurbished Grand Opera House in November 2021.

In addition to this, they have secured the rights to bring a new stage adaptation of Disney’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ to Belfast. With music from Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz, this Disney spectacular will be a first for Belfast, and one of the first in the UK.

The company recently had to cancel their performances of ‘Titanic The Musical’ in a custom built theatre venue, but are preparing for the return of theatre in the near future. Both shows require a huge ensemble of characters and so for a limited time only, they are holding auditions for company membership on August 29 at their premises on Heron Road.

Registration for an audition is done online at bit.ly/bocauditions and the deadline is August 22 - don’t miss your chance to get involved with this fantastic award winning company and produce some spectacular musicals on Belfast’s biggest stage.
