2013 & 2012 SEASON AUDITION TOUR ARIA FREQUENCY LISTS
Each link below represents a comprehensive listing of the frequency of each aria in 3 different scenarios: how often it was listed on the 4-aria requirement on the application, how often it was offered as a singer’s first choice, and how often it was invoked as a subsequent choice of the audition panel. This data represents the Filene Young Artist (emerging professional) demographic only.
I’ve attempted to proof for duplications, typos, etc, but won’t swear that I’ve found everything.Feel free to submit corrections via comments.

2011 SEASON AUDITION TOUR ARIA FREQUENCY LISTS
Representation on 4-Aria List
(Filene Young Artists: typically post-graduate, average age 27)
These lists are culled from the 4 arias listed by each singer on the application form. Since we allow singers to change their lists, there’s no guarantee that these are the actual pieces that are sung; however, it’s a good general idea of how popular a given aria is among YAP auditioners.

Ah, la paterna mano is listed twice in the tenor list. (once, with comma, once without).
Thanks for posting this every year. It’s always interesting.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dave. Not sure I will be able to go in and fix it, but I’ll try not to make the same mistake this year :)

Hi, in the Mezzo 2013 list, “Frugola’s Aria” is listed as being from Gianni Schicchi, when it’s from the first one act, Il Tabarro. Right triptych, though!
