Personal Information

Number of selections required: 1.
We choose not to have an age limit because we recognize that people may follow various paths to an operatic career. However, we are a young artist program and most of our current artists are in their mid-twenties, so it is rare for us to hear people over the age of thirty in our preliminary auditions. If you are over 30, please explain below why you think the HGO Studio is the appropriate next step for you.
