Singers auditioning for the professional, paid chorus are asked to prepare two pieces: one in a foreign language and one in English.

“The Dayton Opera Chorus is such an important part of our productions,” said Bankston. “Because the members of this wonderful, professional ensemble come from our community, they are what really put the ‘Dayton’ in Dayton Opera”
