Inscrição e taxa

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.

Eliminatórias e duração

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.

Repertório

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.
