Hey gang:
I acknowledge that the fundamental difference between auditioning for musicals and auditioning for operas is:
1) For musicals, one does NOT sing something from the show, unless specifically asked to do so;
2) For operas, one should expect to sing something from the role you want to play.
But Gilbert & Sullivan kind of falls in the crack between Broadway and the opera house. I'm planning to audition for an "Iolanthe" next week, in hopes of playing the Fairy Queen. Would it be OK to audition with her big number, "O foolish fay," or should I do something else?
