Singers
Singers should submit recorded videos within this appplication. In-person auditions [in Denton TX, London (UK), Toulouse (FRANCE), or Villefranche-de-Rouergue (FRANCE)] may be available, but are not a substitute for recorded videos. Please contact us at info@lyricartsfrance.org to inquire about this possibility.
Each singer should offer three contrasting arias, one of which must be in French. In addition, singers are asked to read aloud the text to their French aria. Singers are strongly recommended to offer appropriate arias from Carmen or The Fantasticks/Les Romanesques, if they wish to be considered for solo roles in those productions.
Singers are encouraged to act out and perform as fully as possible all of their choices, both recorded and live: please feel free to move about the room, not stay rooted to the piano, and convince us of your acting ability as much as of your singing ability and musicianship!

In-person auditions [in Denton TX, London (UK), Toulouse (FRANCE), or Villefranche-de-Rouergue (FRANCE)] may be available, but are not a substitute for recorded videos.

- The Composer's Aria ("Sein wir wieder gut") from Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos
