Last year's San Diego winner, mezzo-soprano Sarah Saturnino, went on to win at the national level and says the award has taken her career to a new level
Next weekend in La Jolla, 25 up-and-coming opera singers will compete in a daylong vocal competition with the hope of earning a regional title that could catapult them to the Metropolitan Opera stage. The singers are all contestants in the San Diego District finals for the Metropolitan Opera Eric and Dominique Laffont Competition . Opera hopefuls ages 20 to 30 have been singing their hearts out in the San Diego district competition for each of the past 65 years.
“I recall that I had entered a crazy repertoire list that year as well. This didn’t stop the judges at the time from seeing that I had an instrument to explore. That validation to ‘keep going’ gave me a new layer of confidence and courage to keep stepping out in to the outer opera world.” Saturnino started her own opera training at age 16. She earned her undergraduate degree in vocal performance from UC Los Angeles in 2016 and then her graduate degree from Yale University in 2018.
