NYIOP New York Auditions
NYIOP New York Auditions from November 29th – December 2nd in NYC.
I am posting the information below from an email sent to me by NYIOP International.
You can go to their site and put yourself on the mailing list. The email updates seem to provide more information than their web site, or at least it seems that it is easier to find the information in their emails. If you are interested in the auditions, I’d encourage you to read this entire post.
Here is the complete information about the upcoming NYIOP New York Auditions from November 29th – December 2nd in NYC!
The NYIOP PREVIEW Auditions will take place on November 29-30 at NOLA Studios and will be attended by two North American companies, two or three European companies and a panel of agencies as well. The final two days of the auditions (Dec 1-2) will take place on the stage of Merkin Concert Hall and be attended by the entire panel of companies attending and probably a few more along the way! You will also note the repertoire to be cast for this session is finally in, see below. The fee is $395.00.

PLEASE NOTE: One of the houses has specifically noted that many of the leading roles are cast for the repertoire selections which they presented to NYIOP which are listed above. However, that same house stated that the NYIOP auditions are “important” because there are 2nd casts, covers, last minute replacements and all matter of secondary and comprimario roles to be found at the NYIOP’s. Therefore all the repertoire presented (from this one company) to NYIOP is represented above in its entirity.
ALSO: One house has specifically asked NYIOP to “present as many Verdi voices as possible.” Although this house did not send the specific Verdi operas/roles to be cast for their upcoming season(s)…they made it an urgent point to make this specific request. NYIOP passes that onto you.

- Live Tonight: Nicholas Payton At The Village VanguardHe found his footing in jazz through its hard-swinging main stem. But after he'd proved his hard-bop mettle, he took a fork in the road toward electric experimentalism. Now, trumpeter Nicholas Payton seems comfortable pursuing a middle ground. Listen live Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET. […]

- The Jazz Community As A Road MapMost people who pass through the jazz community only travel down certain main thoroughfares.
