Some of the Metropolitan Opera’s greatest singers made the Met’s roster through the company’s audition program for young Americans, including Renee Fleming, Thomas Hampson, Joyce DiDonato and Jessye Norman.
Today, the audition program is known as the MetOpera Laffont Competition. The competition dates back to the 1930s, but it was only in 2017 that the Met invited Mexico to be part of it. This opened the doors for a large number of young Mexican singers to be seen and heard internationally. The San Miguel MetOpera Trust, A.C. (SMMT) was established in 2019 to supervise the Mexican District of the Laffont Contest.
