competitions
the calendar, the stakes, the judges.
the stakes, the calendar
competitions are how a voice gets heard, and how it gets honest. the aria circuit is a seasonal calendar of events — local recital prizes up to the big internationals — and we keep the dates, the rules, and the judges straight for you.
enter one that's slightly above your level, not miles above it. a competition you can almost win is the one that makes you better; a competition that humbles you is the one that makes you quit.
the season
- autumn — the regional and conservatory rounds.
- winter — the scholarship and young-artist auditions.
- spring — the big internationals, for the ones who placed.
