Audry Elizabeth Luna, has just been hired by Metropolitan Opera Theatre New York. She says in the article: “I think what led me down the Adès path” says Luna “is that (MET associate artistic administrator) Lenore Rosenberg heard me in the Renata Tebaldi Competition in San Marino. I was singing crazy, high stuff, and I think she thought that maybe I could do Ariel. A couple of months later I did my first stage audition at the MET… Six months later they had me back to sing…”.

Romina Tomasoni, won the 2009 edition Competition third prize and the Critics Award. She was hired by Ravenna Festival, after being noticed by its artistic director during the Renata Tebaldi Competition. She has just been hired by Maggio Fiorentino where she will play Zita in Gianni Schicchi, next December.
