The COC Chorus is made up of professional singers, some of whom have worked with the company for more than 20 years.

The size of the chorus varies according to the musical needs of the repertoire, but the Chorus normally has around 40 singers, divided equally between men and women.

From time to time, chorus singers are assigned smaller solo roles in addition to their chorus duties.

Because the Chorus is not considered a full-time occupation, most members of the Chorus also have day jobs. There are teachers, office workers, university professors—some even work in COC administration!


To Audition

Auditions for the Chorus take place each year in January and all chorus members are required to audition. All chorus members are, or are required to become, members of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association.

Interested in auditioning to become a member of the COC Chorus? Call the Administrative Assistant to the Music Department at 416-363-6671.
