The artistic direction of Tullio Serafin Opera Singing Competition, in light of the new government provisions on Covid-19, has deemed it appropriate to postpone the registration deadline to the Competition to facilitate candidates who find themselves in difficulty in reaching the theaters hosting the “preliminary” rounds.
Therefore, the registration deadline is set on 3 May at 12.00 for Teatro alla Scala in Milan, Teatro Massimo in Palermo and Teatro dell’Opera in Rome and on 14 May at 12.00 for Teatro Real in Madrid.
On 4 May at 6 pm live on the Facebook page of Archivio Storico Tullio Serafin, the letter of the alphabet will be extracted for the summons order of competitors for the preliminary round.
