NYIOP International Opera Auditions

The NYIOP Auditions were first held in New York City and were born out of the frustration facing aspiring opera singers in their desire to be heard by opera houses from all over the world. The concept behind the NYIOPs reverses the traditional understanding of international opera auditions: The opera companies travel to hear the singers.

Since their inception in 2002, the NYIOPs have generated hundreds of contracts and have helped innumerable singers toward their goal of making contact with international opera houses and agencies. During this time we have held auditions in over 25 major cities worldwide and have hosted over 150 theaters to hear the NYIOP singers.
