AUDITION REPERTOIRE
 
For live auditions, please prepare 3 arias/songs of which at least one should be in Italian.
If you're sending a CD, please send 3 arias/songs, at least one in Italian. 

* the professional singer seeking to refine or improve his/her technique, presentation, musicality, audition skills

* the young singer studying privately, looking for more feedback and searching for the next step in his/her career

What repertoire do I need?

* Bring 3-4 arias/songs to work on. Two should be close to performance-ready, and others can be new repertoire that you are trying out.

* Bring at least one piece with an Italian recitative (Mozart, Donizetti, Bellini, Rossini)

Ensembles:

* There will be ensembles from opera and oratorio for those who express an interest in taking part in one. Those participating in an ensemble must arrive in Florence with their parts completely memorized (off-book).
