The Paris Opera Competition 2023 is a biennial competition for opera singers held in Paris, devoted to discovering and helping promote young opera singers. While a competition was determined to be the best vehicle for helping emerging artists, the Paris Opera Competition strives to create something more: not only exposure and prize money but a piece of the puzzle in a singer’s path to success.

Founded in 2010, the Paris Opera Competition team is made up of opera lovers, industry professionals and former and current young artists all working together to help nurture artists at the vulnerable start to their careers. We aim to create a complete experience for contestants, allowing them to compete, perform and learn. For each competition, we invite industry professionals from various sectors of the opera business to be in our jury, work with the singers, or attend the finals, in order to give singers the knowledge and tools required to make significant advances towards their long and short term goals.

In order to register, a candidate must be at least 18 years old (with parental authorization depending on the country in which he/she is a minority) and no older than 32 years old at the end of the year of the competition final.

Registrations are made online on the website www.parisoperacompetition.com

The Paris Opera Competition 2023 association in partnership with the Dassault Group will award four prizes in front of the public and after deliberation by the jury:

First Prize

These prizes range from 1,500 € to 8,000 €.
