How it Works

  • Submit a Prescreen Video
    Every singer will receive a detailed evaluation from a CS panelist.

  • Advance to the Live Auditions
    Only singers who pass the Prescreen Round will receive a Live Audition time.

  • Sing for a Panel of 5-10 professionals
    Members of the panel will give each singer anonymous written feedback.

  • $155 Registration Fee
    A $95 refund will be given if singer doesn’t qualify for the live auditions.

  • January 20 Registration Deadline or Until Sold Out
    Limited to only 60 singers, so once all of the Live Auditions are full then registration will close.

“The Panel Auditions were the best run, most organized, most kindly, and most professional ones I have EVER done. You have made this tenor very happy!!”

Peter Furlong, Heldentenor

“Thank you so much for the feedback! I have found the whole audition a very positive experience. The organization was superb, the location was almost even better! Wow, what an amazing place! The staff were really pleasant and put me at ease. I can almost say that I enjoyed myself, even though auditioning is always nerve-racking.”

Nathalie Mees, soprano
