What kind of opera pieces might I have to sight-read in an audition/entrance examination for orchestral conducting?
Which arias, choirs, ensembles etc are typical or 'notorious' sight-reading pieces?
If there are any conductors here: what did you have to sight-read in your audition?

or:I've played in an ensemble which was kind of a mini orchestra. In general, the difficult pieces to conduct were also the difficult pieces for us to sight-read (and watch the conductor at the same time). Several changes of metre (particularly at high tempo) are a challenge and must be awful for a conductor.Stravinsky's \"Les Noces\" is one of the toughest. If you can conduct that, you can probably do anything. Bach has some difficult pieces too.
