To be considered for a live audition, all applicants must submit three files, one of which must be a video file (we recommend uploading your video onto YouTube and sending us the unpublished link). The other two may be video or audio files. You should sing one aria and two songs, which should be contrasting in style. Languages covered can be French, German, Italian, Russian or English. Submitted files must be unedited.

Auditions will be held in Glasgow on Friday 20 April and in London between Sunday 29 April and Wednesday 2 May.

If you are granted a live audition, please indicate your preferred audition date and time:

You must have two references from music or theatre professionals. This may include your current/recent singing teacher and other established music/theatre professionals with whom you have regularly worked (e.g. coach, conductor, director). It is your own responsibility to contact your referees in plenty of time to ensure they are happy to provide a reference should we contact them. They do not need to write a letter or fill out an online form. Spouse, relatives and agents may not serve as musical authority references.

The Association with Applicant field requests information as follows: e.g. Professor of Voice at Opera University, private teacher 3 years.

By applying, applicant agrees to abide by these conditions and agrees not to make any claim against Samling or Samling Artist Programme regarding auditions and all aspects of the audition process. Decisions of the audition committee are final.
