October 2008

The White Nights Opera Auditions continue to be a tremendous success.  Artistic Directors from the following theatres have previously attended our auditions: Teatro Real Madrid, The Netherlands Opera, Royal Danish Opera, Opernhaus Graz, Staatstheater-St. Gallen, Staatstheater Darmstadt, Staatstheater Darmstadt, Greek National Opera, Latvian National Opera, Aix-en-Provence, Dallas Opera, Vancouver Opera, Royal Swedish Opera, Minnesota Opera, Houston Opera, Kentucky Opera, Komische Oper Berlin, Kazan Opera and Den Norske Opera. The Artistic Directors were very impressed with the level of talent and have already engaged many singers in their companies (Please visit the testimonial page).  From this success we plan to continue the White Nights Opera Auditions. 

The next session of auditions will be in October 2008.  The exact dates will be announced by the end of July.  The audition will be fully sponsored.  No fee will be required to attend.  There will be two preliminary auditions in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  Singers will be required to provide their own accompanists for the preliminary auditions and preferably for the final auditions as well.  We will select only the best singers to participate in the final tour of auditions.

The first two White Nights Opera Auditions sessions have produced over $1,000,000.00 in contract offers in theaters including, the Metropolitan Opera, Minnesota Opera, Kentucky Opera, Staatstheater Darmstadt, Opernhaus Graz, Canadian Opera, Royal Danish Opera, Dallas Opera,  and Staatstheater St. Gallen, Switzerland.

The White Nights Opera Auditions remains the only audition of its kind in the Russian Federation, saving Russian citizens the cost of flying to Europe and North America for auditions.

Further, we only invite Artistic Directors that have the direct power to cast singers. This is not guaranteed by similar auditions in Europe and North America!!!

Please view the Question and Answer section on this website.  We hope that this will help singers further understand the importance of auditioning and how participating in the White Nights Opera Auditions/Winter Way helps promote singer’s careers while saving the singer money.
