Who Is OperaUSA For?

Three groups — each with a different relationship to the platform.

I'm a Singer

Singers are the core of the platform. You list the roles you know — and become findable by anyone searching for that role, anywhere in the world.

  • Create a profile: headshot, full-body photo, video links, sizes
  • Browse the repertoire list — click every role you know in full
  • You may join without any roles and add them as your career grows
  • Directors search by role name and find you directly
  Free to join — Opera, Operetta & Show

(not as a singer)

Conductors, stage directors, pianists, designers, costume makers, lighting professionals, and every other artist who brings a production to life. Your benefit is a professional profile page — for the lyric theatre world specifically.

  • Maintain your complete artistic biography in one place
  • List your specialties, notable productions, and credits
  • Add video links — recordings, interviews, documentaries
  • Share your profile as a link — to colleagues, agents, or anywhere online
  • Be found by producers who need your specialty for an upcoming production
