Thia thread is about the Met auditions, in which trained singers age 20 to 30 sing arias for judges, receive feedback, and compete for the top prize, which is $15,000 and the chance to sing on the Met stage in New York.

I'm wondering whether it would be encouraging or discouraging for a high-school singer to be in the audience.

If you want to complain about opera management, start your own thread.
