Prove & durate

Video preselection · three works · piano accompaniment

Choose three works covering at least two languages and two periods. Piano accompaniment is mandatory. Upload one unedited single-take file per work, with chest and face visible, and enter the date and place for each recording. Record within a year of the application deadline. Confirm authenticity, soloist identity, no edits and clearance for each recording in the form. Fixed camera and professional audio are recommended. Video works may carry into live rounds.

First round · 9–10 May · max. 10 min

Perform two self-selected pieces with piano, in different languages and different periods. Choices are opera arias, oratorio arias, Lieder and art songs, with at least one opera or oratorio aria. Both must fit within 10 minutes. Choose your order. Twenty-four advance.

Semifinal · 12–13 May · about 20 min

Prepare two separate piano-accompanied recital programmes, each up to 18 minutes, plus the commissioned voice-and-piano work of about 3 minutes. No first-round repeats. One work up to 9 minutes may appear in both programmes. At most two works by any one composer per programme; cycles and portions of cycles each count as one.
Perform the unpublished commission and one of the programmes, selected by the jury about 29 hours before your appearance. The commission arrives after definitive acceptance and may not be performed publicly before the competition. Twelve advance.

Final · 20–22 May · about 20 min · orchestra

Choose three to five works, at least one opera aria, at least two languages and at most two works by any one composer. Exclude works performed in the semifinal. The organizer may request orchestral material or changes if parts or forces are unavailable.

Repertorio

Sing in original language and key, from memory except oratorio arias. Use published transpositions for piano-accompanied songs. Request permission to use scores for contemporary works by 9 March 2027. No self-composed or self-arranged works.
Programme locks at the deadline subject to organizer-required changes. Accepted singers submit scans for all works and indicate cuts, using full scores or vocal reductions for the final. Arrive 6 May and attend draw on 7 May. First six laureates may be required for engagements through 30 June 2027.
