How to Apply

All applicants must apply using the online application form. The application window for the 2025 competition will be open from the 1st of February to the 1st of April at 11.59pm (CET).

Applicants must submit video recordings of two self-chosen opera arias which adhere to the following requirements:

• One video per aria
• Each aria must be recorded in a single take and use a single camera angle
• The two opera arias must represent contrasting styles
• The two recordings should be a maximum of 10 minutes long combined
• The recordings must avoid excessive post-production (too coloured a sound or too much reverb) – they should be a faithful representation of your live performance
• Only live piano accompaniment will be accepted (no pre-recorded backing tracks)
• The singer must always remain visible
• Videos should be recorded no more than 12 months before the date of your submission. We recommend to upload videos from as recent a date as possible
• It is highly recommended to take into consideration the quality of the sound, to allow the Jury to have the best possible judgement
• Avoid distortion and ensure that the accompaniment is not louder than the applicant

Additionally, applicants must provide a repertoire list consisting of 10 works, a copy of their passport, an updated CV and a digital photo.

The application window for the 2025 competition will be open between 1 February and 1 April 2025.
