Did you know that just about anyone can get an audition with the Metropolitan Opera or New York City Opera?

	The Met has regular Thursday auditions.  Call them for more info.
	New York City Opera hears general auditions (usually on Mondays) on an ongoing basis.  To request an audition from NYCO, send letter, resume, & photo to the Assistant to the Artistic Administrator, New York City Opera, 20 Lincoln Center, New York, NY  10023.  Do not send audio or video tapes.  Selected applicants will be contacted to audition with repertoire of their choice.
	Bear in mind that the first audition at either of these prodigious houses is merely a screening audition. Very few people ever get asked back for a mainstage audition, but you just never know!!  Good luck!
