the met's 'audition'

friday night, i watched the metropolitan opera's documentary 'the audition' -- very good -- enjoyable


the full documentary became unavailable on youtube -- here are three videos with excerpts



i then watched the follow-up conversation with renee fleming, susan graham and thomas hampson, all of whom (hampson, too, i think) were previous winners


then, in yesterday's live simulcast of the met's 'francesca da rimini,'...who's conducting the orchestra...but...marco armiliato, who's a mainstay...of...'audition'
i hadn't noticed him conducting the orchestra before, and...he was mentioned, as having conducted...at least one...recent met simulcast...that i'd seen
