Response to karen |
| I speak as someone who's lost auditions due to obscure repertory. Like it or not, judges - esp. reputable ones - want to hear rep they know. They're not there to get a lesson in obscure operas. Some will simply not opt not to make a judgment based on a piece they do not know.
As one leading artistic director/conductor once told me, only present arias from roles you are ready to sing NOW.
