Sing for the casting directors of Komische Oper Berlin (Germany), Oper Bern (Switzerland), and Concertgebouw Amsterdam’s NTR Zaterdagmatinee’s opera in concert version series (The Netherlands), as well as for Oper Köln (Germany) without having to spend thousands of dollars traveling abroad.

These work sessions consist of 25-minute-long, private auditions where each participant –emerging and professional singers– gets to choose the first of five arias, and then the adjudicator may opt to hear one or two additional arias.

Participants are guaranteed immediate, live feedback. Future work may be offered to the participants if their level is outstanding and their profile meets the theaters’ needs.

The cost for doing two sessions is $460, and $250 for one.

A pianist will be provided.

These work sessions are run through the for-profit branch of our organization, NYVAA Inc. and are not sponsored. Rather, the fees of all the participants are pooled in order to defray the costs of all of them vis-à-vis doing them separately abroad.
