Göteborg Opera Seeks a Permanent Chorus Tenor for July 2027, Applications Close 13 December
Sweden's Göteborg Opera is accepting applications for a tenor to join its professional chorus. The organisation describes the role as a permanent position with an initial probationary year, beginning in July 2027. The current application deadline is 13 December 2026.
The role and its working setting
This is a professional opera-chorus vacancy rather than a singing contest, training programme or unpaid stage appearance. Chorus members support opera productions, musical theatre and other repertoire at Göteborg Opera. Applicants should expect an ensemble environment requiring strong score reading, stylistic versatility and reliable rehearsal attendance.
The published summary identifies a tenor voice. Specific language requirements, audition repertoire, contracts and employment eligibility should be checked in the detailed vacancy and application form, not presumed from the job title alone.
Contract dates and submission
The company states that employment starts in July 2027 and is permanent, with an initial probationary year. Applications close on 13 December 2026. The official jobs portal links to the details and its Varbi recruitment form, which should be used rather than sending personal documents to unrelated services.
As the salary and any reimbursement of audition travel are not stated in the brief consulted, candidates should obtain those terms before committing to international travel or leaving an existing engagement. Applicants from outside Sweden should verify the applicable work authorisation process.
About Göteborg Opera
Göteborg Opera is a major performing-arts organisation in Gothenburg, presenting opera, dance, musicals and orchestral work. It maintains a dedicated recruitment page with current stage and backstage positions, as well as routes for general expressions of interest.
This particular competition has a concrete deadline and employment start date; a general interest submission through Varbi is not equivalent to an application for the advertised tenor vacancy.

Deadlines, rights, eligibility and submission terms can change. Consult the latest rules on the organiser's official site before submitting, paying fees or sharing work. Information checked on 23 October 2026.
