BOK Auditions: A Celebration of Opera & Christmas 2025
Baraka Opera Kenya is holding auditions for SINGERS to take part in A CELEBRATION OF OPERA in OCTOBER and A CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS in DECEMBER.
In 2022, Baraka Opera Trust held three successful Concerts entitled A Celebration of Opera featuring 20 local singers with 2 overseas professional singers, all performing Operatic Solos & Ensembles and accompanied by an Orchestra.
In A Celebration of Opera (2025) Baraka Opera Kenya has once again assembled some of Kenya’s most talented operatic voices as well as instrumentalists to give you an unforgettable experience of how opera is about life in all it’s facets. The second half is in celebration of A Kenyan Opera, (one of only 3) titled “ Nyanga: Runaway Grandmother “. For more information on this much celebrated Kenyan opera which had its premiere during the COVID pandemic, watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NncaK3s6I4w&pp=0gcJCesJAYcqIYzv
It is hoped that the same singers will then perform in A Celebration of Christmas - a selection of varied Seasonal Music, and again featuring the singers in solos and ensembles.
