For 20 seasons, NYIOP and its Founder, David Blackburn, has redefined how the opera industry auditions artists, having generated interest in thousands of singers. With the NYIOP Virtual Auditions, conceived in 2020, we have again set the Industry Standard for how the opera business will hear artists worldwide - now and into the future.

The NYIOP process is created to provide you the opportunity to present yourself professionally at the highest level from anywhere in the world, whether by Virtual opportunities or Live+Stream auditions. The world’s casting directors know that the NYIOP Virtual Standard guarantees quality and reliability and that they can decide their needs based on our auditions.
