The MET Effect
We enjoy beautiful relationships with MET Singers, Conductors, and Judges, who come to work with us each season. Vero Beach Opera Music Director & Conductor GREGORY BUCHALTER, pictured moments before conducting La Traviata with the Brevard Symphony Orchestra in January 2025, brings 30 years of experience at the Metropolitan Opera.
Rising Stars
We invite MET Opera Laffont Competition winners to compete in our Rising Stars Vocal Competition. Many go on to perform on the MET Opera stage. Pictured is 2025 Rising Stars First Prize Winner SADIE CHESLAK the moment she won the title and $10,000! One month earlier, Sadie won the 2025 Metropolitan Opera’s Laffont Competition.
