For those with performers in voice/opera, how are commitments to roles in performances communicated? In writing with the offer, verbally, not at all? How did your student broach this aspect of the admission package? I have heard this should be an important consideration along with funding, but wonder how it actually works and if the promises (if made) were actually fulfilled (especially since who knows what the shows will be or whom else will audition etc…)?
