For anyone who’s dreamed of appearing on the Cincinnati Music Hall stage, Cincinnati Opera is ready to give you your moment in the spotlight. No singing skills are required!

Supernumerary—or “super”—roles are volunteer non-singing, non-speaking roles, much like extras in film and television. Supers will share the stage with internationally renowned artists and work with celebrated directors and conductors. No experience is necessary, and all super positions are filled on a voluntary basis. Individuals of all ages, races, ethnicities, genders, and abilities are welcome and encouraged to apply.

Attending the casting call does not obligate a person to participate. Interested individuals may attend the casting call to simply learn more about supernumerary opportunities. For more information, please email supers@cincinnatiopera.org.
