NYIOP - New York International Opera Auditions 
I haven’t sung professionally for quite a while now, but I’m still on the NYIOP mailing list, giving me a constant reminder of some of the worst things about a career in the performing arts.
Can you imagine any other industry charging its applicants for an interview?
Yet, the NYIOP proudly trumpets the discount it’s offering this year. It will cost you “only” $300 to go sing for the casting directors who attend.
