Information for Singers
DETAILS REGARDING THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION ARE PUBLISHED ON THE MET WEBSITE.
Please see https://www.metopera.org/Competition
Here are a few brief information highlights:
- Applications for the QUALIFYING ROUND will be accepted online beginning July 1, 2024 and must be submitted by July 31, 2024, along with your recording of 1 aria. There is no application fee for the Qualifying Round.
- Singers will be notified on September 1, 2024 whether or not they have been accepted to sign up for a DISTRICT competition. If accepted, you may apply to any District you wish, unless it is already full. (Be sure to check the District's Region competition date, too, because if you win you will be required to compete in the corresponding Region.) An application fee will be paid at the time of signing up for a District.
- Singers who won judge-awarded prizes in any of last year's Districts are not required to send videos to the Qualifying Round and simply need to complete their application on Resonance by the deadline. They will be notified of a priority registration date for choosing their Districts.
The Met website lists all the District and Region competition dates, eligibility requirements, and more.
The FLORIDA DISTRICT Laffont Competition will take place on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2024, and our SOUTHEAST REGION competition will take place in Atlanta on February 9, 2025.
Further information for singers participating in the FL District November 2024 competition will be found in the qualifying singers' Resonance files and information emails sent to their personal email addresses.
