THE CONCEPT
The purpose of the series is to provide an opportunity for singers to perform in front of an audience to build their experience, and for audiences to discover new artists.

We will have about six or more performers each evening, with each one singing one or two pieces. We will have mostly opera arias, but also sometimes instrumentals and musical theater. There will be a piano accompanist.

AUDITIONS
Auditions take place at the Singers Studio for Opera master class. The Singers Studio for Opera master class meets Wednesdays at 7:30 at the 853 7th Rehearsal Studios, which are at 853 7th Ave, Rear Lobby, between 54th and 55th Streets in Manhattan. There is a $35 charge to audition. Be prepared to sing one or more arias of your choice, and please bring two copies of your music.
