Moving to Germany as a Singer

A practical Guide to Housing, Work, and Life Abroad

Thinking about Moving to Germany as an Opera Singer?

In 2022, my wife and I made the move with our newborn. It was exciting, challenging, and full of things I really wish I would’ve known beforehand. I put together a short guide with notes from our own experience covering topics including housing realities, work, fees, bureaucracy, auditions, taxes, and things no one mentions until you’re here. If you’re considering Germany as a base, I hope this helps make things a bit clearer.
