YES, it is possible to schedule an audition after the deadline posted on YAP Tracker. After the deadline, clicking this link LATE APPLICATION will allow you to apply. If you do this, also send an email to au*******@op***.org with the subject line: “LATE APP: Your last name — audition city”.
There will be walk-in opportunities the day of the audition, too. Arrive as close to the first audition time as possible and alert the artistic director that you would like to audition. He will work you into the schedule.
For the 2023 season, artists will again have the opportunity to audition live at several locations or submit recently recorded videos for our consideration. All applications and videos will be submitted via YAP Tracker. Auditioning live has the advantage of offering us a opportunity to meet you, get a sense of your personality in conversation, as well as experience your voice and artistry in person.
FOR YOUR LIVE AUDITION:
- Prepare three selections: one in Italian, one in English and another in a language of your choice.
- One selection may be an art song, oratorio or musical theater selection.
- An experienced accompanist will be provided.
- Please bring a résumé and repertoire list — no headshot needed-save your money.
