Three Spirits –
Played by teens, the Three Spirits are the heart of this retelling of The Magic Flute, serving as narrators and guiding the audience through the story.

We are seeking three advanced young vocalists (ages 11–16) who can confidently hold their own part in three-part harmony. A classical or choral sound is preferred. All genders may apply; however, please note that the singing is written in the soprano/alto range.

Teen Ensemble –
The Teen Ensemble will provide choral support for the Three Spirits, helping underscore their role as narrators and enhance the storytelling throughout this reimagined Magic Flute. Ensemble members sing as a group in select moments of the production and contribute to the magical atmosphere onstage.

We are seeking young vocalists (ages 11–16) with the ability to learn and perform choral music confidently. All genders are welcome to apply; however, please note that the singing is written in the soprano/alto range. Prior choral or vocal experience is preferred.

The Three Spirits and Teen Ensemble are volunteer positions. There is no pay and no fee to participate, offering students the chance to gain performance experience and training.

Accepting virtual submissions until February 1st.

We will reach out if we would like to hear more at in-person callbacks.
