(Toronto, ON - March 29, 2006) It's time to put down the back
scrubber and trade it in for a microphone - are you ready to become
Canada's next opera star? After a successful first season, Bravo!
and Kaleidoscope Entertainment are looking for aspiring singers who
want to vie for the chance to train with top-notch singing
professionals and battle to become the ultimate "bathroom diva." Act
two of Bathroom Divas will air on Bravo! in January 2007.

The open submission call is targeted towards non-professional opera
singers from diverse musical, cultural and occupational backgrounds.
Prospective "bathroom divas" may vary in musical training and
experience.

2006. Potential candidates should submit a CD or audio cassette
showcasing three of their contrasting operatic works clearly labeled
with their name and contact information. The demo tapes or CDs
should not exceed 12 minutes and should be accompanied by a recent
photo and résumé including union affiliations, if any. Potential
candidates must be 18 years of age or older and be a Canadian citizen
or permanent resident of Canada. Submissions will not be returned.
