規定と課題曲

申込方法と参加費

• Apply online from 1 September 2026 through 31 January 2027. The public rules give no cutoff hour. Born after 1 January 1997 under the English regulations. Open to voice or singing-acting students and graduates of music colleges and universities. Other singers require documented achievements and a recommendation from a prominent music figure for discretionary admission. Students and graduates instead submit proof of studies or graduation after selection.
• The initial form asks for identity/contact information, voice type, education, YouTube link(s), recorded programme and consent. Those selected on 25 February submit a second form by 15 March with timed live programmes, B&W JPG photo (300 dpi, longer side at least 3,000 px), valid student ID or diploma or achievement proof and recommendation, accompanist choice, and required scores and translations. Translate foreign-language texts into English, German or Italian where requested, especially for the art-song contest.
• The fee is payable after selection by 15 March: PLN 800 for Polish citizens or the equivalent of €180 for others. Bring the payment proof to check-in on 15 May. An official pianist is available on request. Name your accompanist in the form if bringing one.

課題曲

• Use original languages and at least two languages across the programme. Feature varied periods and styles, with at most two works per composer apart from the optional art-song contest. Opera and oratorio arias may only be transposed under generally accepted performance practice. Programme changes close 15 March. Check the Polish and English rules if a translated clause is unclear.
• The web summary places the required Polish-composer piece in Stage II. The English PDF programme list appears to place it in Stage I, while its individual Stage I instructions specify Mozart. Confirm the placement with the organizer before finalizing the programme.
