Doesn’t that title make it sound important? Well it is!
I’m please to say that two more AVA resident artists have won their district level Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions (see blog on January 7).
Soprano Zulimar López-Hernández won on the district level at San Juan, Puerto Rico with AVA accompanist José Meléndez at the piano. She will now compete on the regional level in New Orleans. Zulimar studies voice at AVA with Ruth Golden. For more information on Zuly, see my blog of January 3.
Mezzo-soprano Nina Yoshida Nelsen also won on the district level in Charlotte, NC on Saturday. Nina will sing at the regional competition in Atlanta. Nina studies voice with Bill Schumann.
Mark your calendars! The Met semi-finals and finals take place very early in NYC this year. The semi-finals will be held on Sunday, February 17, and the final competition will be held on Sunday, March 24.
