Previously the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, the competition name has been changed in recognition of a generous gift from the Laffont family. Mrs. Laffont, an Advisory Director on the Met Board, has spent many hours volunteering with the auditions over the last 20 years, and she and her late husband, Eric, have long been among the program’s most dedicated supporters.
