Some NYIOP Success Stories
MICHAEL CHIOLDI
“The return on my investment over the years has been huge. I personally have been hired more than 6 times from extremely good theaters through out Europe, China, and the USA. ”
What is a NYIOP Casting Audition?
We open the door for you and give you this amazing opportunity to present yourself.
A NYIOP Casting Audition functions like any other professional audition - the difference is we bring together the panel of professionals and organize the audition seamlessly so that you only have to focus on singing well.
In the audition, you sing your chosen first aria and the panel chooses anything else they wish to hear. After the audition, they contact you or your representative about any potential contract offers.
Each NYIOP Casting Audition Project brings together a group of casting personnel from multiples theaters or a group of targeted industry professionals to hear the participants. Each participant sings for the entire panel. After the audition, each participant receives a list of those who were present in order to follow-up. NYIOP is NOT a competition, nor an agency - NYIOP auditions are actual professional casting auditions. The prizes are contracts given for professional work and any negotiation with theaters is done solely by the participant or their representatives. We do not ask a commission on any work received - we create the chance to present yourself and you do the rest..

Some Recent Reviews by Singers
I would recommend NYIOP to anyone looking for the golden standard of opera singing. The folks at NYIOP are a wealth of knowledge. Their ability to direct singers future and help them prepare the appropriate repertoire in uncanny! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to sing at their full potential.
I really recommend the NYIOP Auditions. At first, I was insecure because of a few bad reviews on Facebook.But the auditions were highly professional and very well organized. People actually get hired! And you get the opportunity to sing for companies you might not be able to audition for. You can get a very detailed and constructive feedback, if you like. They had a great accompanist in London too.
Una gran experiencia que recomiendo ampliamente a mis colegas por muchos razones, se aprende, y se tiene la oportunidad de mostrar tu trabajo a varias casas de ópera al mismo tiempo, es una gran iniciativa!
NYIOP is a great opportunity for singers of this generation! Frankly, it is getting harder and harder to get an opportunity to sing for this level of crowds (Major opera casting personnel) and if you don't have a connection or know the right person...with NYIOP you get to sing for 5-10 companies from all over the world...for me, there was no way to get an opportunity to audition for these people in my lifetime...
