Thank you for your interest in the Opera 5 and Canadian Opera Company auditions, hosted at 227 Front St. E, Toronto on November 14 and 15.

September 15th - Pre-screening submission deadline
All submitted audio recordings will be reviewed blind by a panel made up of representatives from Opera 5 and the Canadian Opera Company. In the interest of equity, all identifying information will be removed before review to ensure selections are made with all candidates remaining anonymous to the prescreening panel.
Mid October - Notification of results
November 14 and 15, 2025 - In-person auditions in Toronto
All applicants must be Canadian citizens, Canadian permanent residents, or have Canadian work visa.

While the prescreening submission will be a single aria, singers subsequently selected for an in person audition may present 2–6 pieces of their choice. A collaborative pianist will be provided free of charge for the audition; if you wish to arrange additional rehearsal time, you are welcome to do so at your own cost. If you are granted an audition, the pianist details will be provided to you. Questions? Please email Jaclyn@Opera5.ca . We look forward to hearing from you!
