[Mark]

Annual expected earnings $150,000 – $165,000

Will that get me a nice apartment within walking distance of the opera house?

Will the Met provide me with a suitable gown to wear to the gala?

Do I need a 6/4 CC tuba?

Can I sit on stage with the singers?

Are the singers paid more than I will be?

Chris did a lot of the work on a 4/4 HB 2P.

That alone? Probably not.

Having said that, winning a job like this usually opens up doors that would probably net about another $50-80k a year in earnings being in NYC and all.

Not gonna get rich but you won’t be struggling too bad either.

Does anyone know if the average Joe-Schmoe or student will be able attend the audition? I.E will there be a harsh resume round. I know it’s probably in their best interest to have a smaller audition, but I can think of a couple big jobs that were won by new comers recently. I’m curious if there’s any NY Union rules about this.

Id also be curious about the list/excerpts. How much it Varies from the pretty standard stuff we see from orchestras.

Not sure about the resume round. Based on the “ONLY HIGHLY QUALIFIED APPLICANTS” on the website, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are a bit strict.

I think this slot has opened up twice in my memory, and both times the rep list was a bit more focused towards operatic pieces, possibly 90% or so?

Well, shoot, and I just taped down the 4th valve on my Eb sousaphone, too.

Kleben Sie die fünften Ventile Ihrer C-Tuben fest.

Nah, you need a custom B natural tuba for The Ride.

Any results?

[russiantuba]

I heard through a few people that two Japanese students age 21 or so studying in Zurich were finalists and one was offered the job. I can’t confirm as I wasn’t there.

[arpthark]

Internet seems to say Hiroshi Nakachi.

[Diego A. Stine]

The internet is correct. Hiroshi Nakachi won the position, and Nodoka Watanabe was named as runner-up.

[AvrTuba]

Both studying with the same person?

Impressive!

Yes, she was the runner up.....
