The San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Ballet will conduct the preliminary and semi-final rounds together, with each orchestra’s audition committee deliberating independently. Final round(s) shall be held separately, with vacancies filled solely on the basis of each orchestra’s individual deliberation process. However, the CBAs of both orchestras allow for candidates to simultaneously hold positions in both orchestras. Should a candidate win positions in both orchestras, the sum of the respective annual salary guarantees will apply.
The Application Deadline has passed. For more information, please email orch-auditions@sfopera.com.
