Recording Days

Whatever your voice type or instrument, take advantage of subsidized rates and professional sound engineers to record your next demo, audition reel, or musical project during OPERA America's Recording Days on the following dates:

• Sunday, November 1, 2026 • 10:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

Registrants receive:

• A one-hour video recording session. (Singers must arrange to bring their own accompanists.)
• Basic video and audio editing from professional in-house engineers. (Additional editing and mastering may be purchased separately, as available.)
• High-definition video and audio files via secure download link within 10 business days. (Rush processing is not available.)
• Recordings take place in the acoustically excellent Marc A. Scorca Hall at our National Opera Center in New York City.

Recording Days are open to individual singers, pianists, and instrumentalists, as well as to small independent opera companies. Registration is limited to two slots per person per calendar year.

Sessions are $200 for members and start at $280 for non-members. Non-member registration includes the choice of a one-year Digital Membership (valued at $80) or Signature Membership (valued at $100) to OPERA America. OPERA America members will be prompted to log in to access member rates.

*Registration closes 24 hours in advance of each Recording Day.
