Opportunities

The Benenson Young Artist Program is a stepping stone to a successful career as an opera singer for emerging professional artists. During their five-month residency in Palm Beach, The Benenson Young Artists develop and polish essential stagecraft and performance skills, aided by musical and career guidance from Palm Beach Opera’s experienced artistic and administrative staff, as well as distinguished guest faculty. The Benenson Young Artists appear on the mainstage in supporting roles, cover leading roles, and perform in concerts and special events throughout our community.

Palm Beach Opera will be holding our annual live auditions in New York on October 7-9, 2023.

We encourage live auditions whenever possible, but welcome those who are not available or unable to sing in-person during our New York dates to apply for a video audition. Applicants who are granted a video audition will be required to record a new audition video after September 12, 2023. Video applicants should apply using the form below in the same manner as live audition applicants, indicating “Virtual Audition” in the drop-down menus for location. Guidelines for repertoire selection and video production will be provided to those selected for a video audition.
