EDIT: Auditions are now closed! Thank you to everyone who participated. I can't wait to hear how Moonrise will turn out!


Are you a singer? Are you interested in participating in a symphonic metal opera about miniature equines? I'm currently writing a suite of songs about the rise and fall of Nightmare Moon, 1000 years ago, and I'm looking for a few vocalists to help me out.

I've released a preview of the Prelude, the first part of the opera, which you can listen to here: youtube.com/watch?v=4cy2yoCCpFI

I'm looking for three soloists: Celestia, Luna, and a Storyteller (most probably a male voice). If you're interested in auditiong for a solo part, read this: docs.google.com/document/d/1K_GSM2iICtOqalDb98VbqGdTN651RKWfzrwW2rkz7D8/edit?usp=sharing

I'm also looking for a full SATB chorus, in a manner similar to Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir. If you're interested in being part of the chorus, read this: docs.google.com/document/d/1K_GSM2iICtOqalDb98VbqGdTN651RKWfzrwW2rkz7D8/edit?usp=sharing

As well as singers, I'm also looking for a lyricist - I can write lyrics, but not particularly well, and the lyrics will be kind of important here (!), more information here: docs.google.com/document/d/1mIKiMqz7i7DHB9Jcm-bCuGRTG9stza6G-TmA4IBjE0A/edit?usp=sharing

I'll be accepting auditions until September 21st. Thankyou for your attention, and I hope to hear all your wonderful auditions soon!
