Bases y repertorio
Inscripción y cuota
- Apply online from 4 January to 31 January 2027, 23:59 GMT, equivalent to 1 February at 00:59 CET. Pay €50 by Stripe or credit card, non-refundable. Eligibility is age 18–32 under the rules’ end-of-final-year test. Prior finalists may re-enter only by exception. Applicants who are minors under applicable national rules may need parental authorization.
- Upload a valid passport copy, rights-cleared HD colour artist photo, current English or French CV with training, professional experience and repertoire, and a current biography of at most ten lines. Add recording links and four proposed semifinal arias, all distinct from the recorded arias. The official checklist does not list recommendation letters. A complete file triggers a validation email.
Eliminatorias y duración
Online preselection · two required videos and an optional third
- Record two opera arias in the original languages, contrasting in both style and language. An optional third recording must be from French operatic repertoire. A foreign composer’s opera can qualify under the published French-repertoire definition if the original libretto is in French and/or the premiere was French.
- Use clearly audible video of at least 720p showing the singer full-length. Upload to a platform such as YouTube and paste working links into the form. The French rules mention 2026 in the recording-date clause with wording that may affect newer recordings. Confirm with the organizer if planning to use January 2027 footage. About 40 semifinalists are announced in early March.
Paris semifinal · 16–17 April · prepare four arias
- Prepare four self-selected opera arias separate from the preselection recordings. Sing two from the list, with a third possible to break a tie. Sing from memory in the original language and key. Results are due 20 April, with 9 or 10 finalists across voice types and alternates designated by voice type.
Paris final · 5 November · staged concert with orchestra
- The artistic team agrees the programme and any cuts with each finalist. It includes opera arias and ensembles across Classical, Romantic, 20th-century and contemporary styles. Sing from memory in the original language and key. Arrive 30 October and attend all rehearsals from 31 October to 5 November. A rehearsal pianist is provided.
Repertorio
- The organizer arranges travel and accommodation for the semifinal and final, requires a travel form and offers finalists a daily allowance. The rules include appearance and recording consent, attendance at official dinners and promotion obligations. The French text governs.
