The Met’s Eric and Dominique Laffont Competition is a nationwide program designed to discover promising young opera singers and assist in their artistic and professional development. Each season, more than 1,000 applicants participate in a series of auditions leading up to the Grand Finals Concert—featuring the Met Orchestra, conducted this season by Evan Rogister—in which a small group of finalists compete for cash prizes and the chance to launch a major operatic career.
