Contract: Fixed Term Contract, Full-Time
Salary: £32,500 per annum, pro rata
Location: London Coliseum

We are currently looking to employ a Trainee Repetiteur, on a fixed term contract basis, from 9 September – 8 December 2024.

This is an excellent opportunity for those wanting to pursue a career in opera to gain practical experience as a member of music staff.  You will be mentored by members of the ENO Music Staff, under the supervision of the Head of Music.

As a member of the Music Staff you will make a vital contribution to the high musical standards of ENO, both in rehearsal and performance.  Candidates must have a working knowledge of operatic repertoire and possess excellent keyboard skills, with the potential to develop further in the opera industry.  Please note that ENO usually rehearses and performs everything in English and we would expect the successful candidate to be comfortable working in the English language.  All applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

Integral to the production process, repetiteurs accompany soloists and the chorus in the rehearsal studio and on stage. Repetiteurs possess a specific skills set; they are accomplished pianists with exemplary sight-reading, recreating orchestral timbres on the piano. Repetiteurs pride themselves on their knowledge of the repertoire, their ability to develop strong working relationships, and their understanding of the technicalities of singing for coaching purposes. The position requires individuals who thrive under pressure and demonstrate quick thinking.
