For each round, you must bring at least three audition pieces, of which:

all should be opera (no song or oratorio)

at least two languages should be represented

at least one should be in English

at least one should be from a contemporary opera (post-1980)

You may, if you wish, bring additional arias (up to a maximum of five audition pieces) from which the panel may choose. You are welcome to bring a post-1980 English aria.

The panel may stop you during the performance of a particularly long aria so that they can hear another audition piece. 

Approximately one month before your audition, you will be contacted by the auditions administrator to see if you are bringing any unusual or ‘non-mainstream’ repertoire to your audition. This will be your opportunity to send a copy of this repertoire, to be passed on to the audition accompanist.
