Short Summary
My name is
Adina Dorband and I have been singing opera for over a decade. I trained at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and have since sung with many Bay Area opera companies such as Opera on Tap San Francisco, Pocket Opera, Fremont Opera, the Palo Alto Philharmonic, and soon Verismo Opera.
I am honored to have been invited to audition in Paris for a year long resident artist program, Atelier lyrique at the
Opéra
national de Paris. The audition will be on January 23rd, with a callback on January 25th. The opportunity to sing for such a prestigious opera company is truly a dream come true! French opera has always struck a special chord with me, as well as the French language, culture, and the wonderful citizens I have met in my travels. Spending a year in residence with the Opéra national de Paris will give me the skills and experience needed to pursue an
international opera career, and living in Paris will provide me with the skills to speak fluently in French as well as many personal and business connections throughout Europe.
What I Need & What You Get
My goal is to raise money for a
flight to Paris ($1,000 - $1,200 priced online currently), and for accommodations. This has been a busy, albeit expensive, audition season for me already. I have auditioned for Young Artist Programs at the San Francisco Opera, Minnesota Opera, Central City Opera, and Opera on the Avalon in Canada.
For your generous support, I have included many Perks to show my appreciation and share our mutual love of music. Choose from recordings of my past performances, a special souvenir from Paris, or a private concert for you and your loved ones.
