What are the NYIOPs?

The New York International Opera Auditions, or the NYIOPs, were born out of the frustration facing American singers in their desire to audition for European and International opera houses. The concept behind the NYIOPs reverses the traditional understanding of international opera auditions: The opera companies travel to hear the singers.

This allows a singer the opportunity to be heard by numerous houses in one audition, also dramatically cutting the high costs traditionally associated with an “audition tour.” Thanks to NYIOP, the international opera market is finally open to singers from all over the world, all it takes is one audition, right here in the heart of New York City!
