THE COMPETITION

There are four rounds in total:

PRELIMINARY ROUND

All candidates must supply a good quality video recording of them performing an aria by Handel. Ideally, this will include the recit and the aria should be at least 3 minutes long (including any da capo). The performance can be accompanied by any keyboard instrument or ensemble.

FIRST ROUND

The First Round is held at Craxton Studios in North London and a maximum of 90 singers are selected to be heard live by a panel of 3 judges. (Videos will be accepted however, we strongly recommend you perform live. Requirements for video submissions are exactly the same as if you were to perform live). Two arias by Handel (either sacred or secular), one with its preceding recit and one with da capo. These arias must be performed in the original key and original language. Maximum performance time is 10 minutes and you will be provided with a harpsichordist. (If submitting a video you must be accompanied by a harpsichordist).

SEMI FINAL

The Semi Final is held at St George’s, Hanover Square and a maximum of 12 singers are invited to perform, with a harpsichordist, two contrasting Handel arias up to 15 minutes. This is a live performance and open to the public as part of the London Handel Festival.

FINAL

The Final is also held at St George’s, Hanover Square and is a key date in the diary for the London Handel Festival’s Spring Festival. A maximum of 6 singers are invited to return and perform an all-Handel programme with the London Handel Orchestra conducted by Laurence Cummings. A contrasting programme of up to 18 minutes. (No specific number of arias required).
