Re: Operalia experience

After years of doing other competitions, this was the first one that treated us like the young professionals we were and not like a bunch of students. At the time, they paid for all of us to fly out there and stay the whole time, gave us per diem, put us up in a really nice hotel, provided excellent coaches and a very welcoming, helpful staff. Meeting the Domingo family was an added bonus. It's as fixed or not fixed as any other competition, but certainly worth applying. I also made some fun contacts.
