Australian International Opera Awards
www.aioa.org.au
The annual Australian International Opera Award is worth up to A$50,000 and is intended to cover all tuition, board and lodging, plus travel to and from Australia and a living allowance to cover incidental expenses for 10 months at the Wales International Academy of Voice in Cardiff, Wales (WIAV).
The WIAV is based at the University of Wales. Its Director is the world renowned tenor, Dennis O'Neill CBE. The Academy was formed in 2006 and, thanks to the unique and intense way that it teaches and its ability to attract superstars of the opera world to run its master classes, it is already widely recognised as the best postgraduate school of its type in the world. Its goal is to help professional young singers to prepare themselves for an international career in opera.
