I was invited in 2021 to give a masterclass to the finalists of the [San Miguel MetOpera Trust’s Laffont Competition Mexico District], and so, have been able to work with them first-hand. I can say with confidence that the training and support the Trust provides can make the difference between a talented singer and an accomplished artist, - one who might well take her/his place on the world’s greatest opera stages. This is worth supporting in every way.
