Application Information 

The application fee is €45 (non-refundable).
Application deadlines are:
February 15, 2026 for singers (Extended to April 15 for available roles) Check our Casting Board 
February 15, 2026 for assistant conductors and pianists
April 15, 2026 for composers and Orchestra Musicians.

All applicants must submit a headshot, biography/CV, and one video recording. We strongly advise all applicants—especially singers—to apply as early as possible, as roles and positions may fill before the deadlines.

Singers are assessed based on vocal level, experience, suitability for the repertoire, and role availability. We always try to offer the desired role, but due to high volume and competition, certain roles may already be assigned; in that case, we offer the closest suitable role.
Assistant conductors are evaluated on musicianship, clarity of gesture, and potential in relation to the program needs.
Pianists/Répétiteurs are selected based on pianistic skill, sight-reading, coaching ability, and experience with opera repertoire.
Composers are assessed on artistic composition and originality.

* Scholarships: All selected singers receive a scholarship, with amounts determined by age, role, level, and experience.

Candidates are informed within 2–3 weeks after submitting a complete application, and early applicants may receive results sooner.
