As you can see, they continue to work very hard to make the Auditions happen to ensure a future for opera in America. Here is more information from the Metropolitan Opera.

Please check our website here for any changes at. *Please note that due to the on-going pandemic, for the safety of our performers, volunteers, and guests, it may become necessary to cancel or limit audience attendance. Unless that situation changes, we will not be requiring masking or proof of vaccination for our 2023 District and Regional Competitions. New York’s protocols have been relaxed, as have the protocols in Denver and Colorado. The Metropolitan Opera in New York must abide by the protocols established by New York City and require us to do the same in our region. If you are not yet on our email list and wish be added to our subscriber list, please email us at COVID Protocols 2022 Our fundraising goal for 2021-2022 was $26,000 for singers’ awards and other expenses. Please go to our donations page on our website to donate securely online or by mail or phone. Because we missed live auditions last year, we were not able to make live “asks” for donations during the Auditons themselves. Our operating expenses will be higher than last year’s to cover the costs of a truly live set of Auditions, including in singer awards, judges’ flight and other expenses, rental of the Calvary Baptist Church, and more. Please consider increasing your donation to MONC. This year, your support is needed more than ever.

Our new goal is $26,000 for our annual expenses plus $5000 to catch up with last year ($31,000 total). And that’s where you come in! We got to a little over $20,000 last year, bringing us to within $5000 of our goal, and well above the previous year’s $16,000. This past year, our expenses added up to $26,000, similar to previous years.

Metropolitan Opera National Council Executive Director Melissa Wegner worked closely with us to get all the pieces in place again. We flew out judges, rented out the Calvary Baptist Church, and generally were busy covering all the expenses of a traditional round of auditions. On Saturday, February 12, we hosted the Rocky Mountain Regional Finals with a limited live audience or Livestream. The CO/WY District Competition was held in Denver Saturday, January 22. We finished the 2022 Auditions last winter. Thanks to you and other Auditions supporters, we met our $16,000 goal in that season’s Drive! You helped bring us to the top. The Met Opera Auditions continued “virtually” throughout the 2020n pandemic, even as the Met itself was forced to cancel all of its productions.
