Audition slots remain tight: I’ve just heard from a ZAV agent that there are still many singers from Ukraine and Russia and even a backlog of Musikhochschule graduates from the Covid era who are asking for auditions. This means first and foremost that your videos and online materials have to be really good and high quality. OperGermany does have guidelines for these, so take a look. Remember: learn to communicate in German! You don’t have to be great but you do have to be able to handle yourself in an audition. That’s one of the things OperGermany is here to help you with!
