Requirement for 2021-2022 participation: Vaccination against COVID-19 virus

In order to take part in VLOC in-person activities - namely our rehearsals and performances - you must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. This goes for singers, members of the orchestra, backstage and build crew, and production teams - basically anyone who will be in person at any given time for any VLOC purpose.

COVID-19 is an aerosolized virus - it is spread through droplets in the air - and the CDC has determined that group singing indoors is a high-risk activity for those who are NOT vaccinated. We want everyone to stay healthy, but masking and social distancing are not feasible at rehearsals and performances. As a company, we have decided that the way we want to re-engage and move forward, is with the confidence and assurance that ALL participants ARE fully vaccinated and our collective risk is significantly lowered when doing the thing we love. (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated-guidance.html)

This policy does temporarily put an age requirement for participation. Currently vaccines are not available for children 12 and younger - as soon as they are, we will reevaluate - but anyone over 12 years of age is eligible and encouraged to join us this season, if you are fully vaccinated.

So to reiterate: in order to take part in Victorian Lyric Opera Company in person activities this season, you must be vaccinated against COVID-19. The collective safety of our community is paramount, and by vaccinating yourself, you are taking care of others.
