Special Film Screening: The Audition

Go behind the scenes of one of opera’s most prestigious competitions with a special screening of The Audition, presented by the San Diego District of The Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Susan Froemke, the film follows talented young opera singers as they navigate the intense pressure and excitement of advancing from local auditions to the Grand Finals on the stage of The Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Many local singers who have performed at LJCC’s Opera Wednesdays have participated in the Laffont Competition, making this an especially meaningful look at the journey of emerging opera artists.

Wednesday, October 28.

Doors open 6:30 PM. Film begins 7 PM. (2008, 107 mins)

Free/Open to All.

Donations appreciated. Refreshments available for purchase.

The 2026 San Diego District Auditions will take place November 14 at Crill Performance Hall at Point Loma Nazarene University. For more information, contact the Laffont Competition at (619) 972-5271.
