曲目要求:
Repertoire
Operatic literature of all styles and periods is eligible for submission into both opera categories. Standard operetta literature, such as material by Gilbert & Sullivan, Friml, Lehár, Johann Strauss, and others, will be included in the appropriate opera division. Repertoire in the Musical Theatre division is restricted to singing in the traditional or “legit” style. Scenes which include heavy belting or pop-rock techniques will not be eligible. Repertoire which includes appropriate and healthy use of chest voice, however, is acceptable. As in the operatic divisions, the quality of singing and vocal technique will be strongly considered.
Definition of a Scene
A scene is defined as a portion of a larger, published work. Short operas, musicals, or complete works under 8 minutes in length are not eligible for the scenes competition. Composers are encouraged to submit new operas to the Chamber Opera Competition. All submitted scenes must be from a show which has already received a full production by a professional opera or musical theatre company or a university/college program.
Length of Scene
Suggested length of scenes submitted in both the Preliminary and Final Rounds is 6–8 minutes. Preliminary judges will stop reviewing submissions at the 8 minute mark. The timekeeper at the finals will stop any scene which surpasses 8 minutes, but no penalty will accrue. There is no minimum time requirement.
Set/Props/Costumes
Set pieces are limited to rehearsal blocks and convention hotel tables and chairs located in the meeting room in which the competition will take place. No other set pieces are to be utilized in the scene. Costumes and hand-held props are at the discretion of the director.
Performance Space
The committee will request the largest stage available at the hotel that is not less than a 24 feet x 18 feet platform.
Judging Criteria and Procedures
The scene will be judged on musical style and accuracy, diction, vocal quality, basic stagecraft, individual characterization and ensemble interaction, and creative use of set, props, and costumes based on the competition limitations.
Scenes that are not in the standard repertoire (new works) shall provide three copies of the music for judging purposes.
