The Michigan District of the Great Lakes Region has a volunteer committee of nine members who are eager to provide our District participants the opportunity to audition for this prestigious Laffont Competition award through the Metropolitan Opera. It is our sincere wish to provide our budding operatic singers with an opportunity to not only compete, but earn well-deserved prize monies. We welcome all to the Michigan District competition whether as a competitor, volunteer, or audience member.
Singers that have advanced to the District Round will receive a notification regarding the opening of registration. You will be prompted to log in to your Dashboard, select a District, and pay the $30 application fee to reserve your spot. Districts are limited to 25 singers and will operate on a first come, first served basis.
