“The Panel Auditions were the best run, most organized, most kindly, and most professional ones I have EVER done. You have made this tenor very happy!!”

Peter Furlong, Heldentenor

“Thank you so much for the feedback! I have found the whole audition a very positive experience. The organization was superb, the location was almost even better! Wow, what an amazing place! The staff were really pleasant and put me at ease. I can almost say that I enjoyed myself, even though auditioning is always nerve-racking.”

Nathalie Mees, soprano
