Why Pforzheim?
Since 2018 NYIOP has hosted a series of Live Professional Auditions in beautifulPforzheim, Germany
in cooperation with Bel Canto Global Arts EU Agency.
These auditions bring together German casting directors from the theater-rich western part of Germany to hear artists to consider for future seasons as both guest and fixed artists in the theaters. Many of the theaters also hear artists for their young artist programs as well.
