How does a casting / artistic director find my contact information?
Casting professionals and artistic directors can easily find your agency information through the Operabase Casting Tool. When Casting teams click on the agency name on the Operabase Casting Tool, they are redirected to the agency page, where they can view the agency's office details, contact information, members of the team, and the agency representative and representation information for each artist.
Your agency representation and contact details are also visible on the Artist page when viewed from the Operabase Casting Tool. The information includes the agent representing you, their contact details and the representation information.

How do I delete my profile?
Since your profile is a record of your performance history and attached to productions in which you have participated, companies prefer to keep a complete record. This information forms part of our archives which is used for research purposes.
Please send an email to contact@operabase.com and we will hide your profile. This means that your profile will not be searchable on Operabase and your performance record will remain as part of our archives.
