I loooved this film! Saw it in HD at Tinseltown...the audience was rapt. I was both shocked & saddened to hear of the untimely death of one of these young singers. (This was in the credits at the end).

CMJ is what? If it's a sponsor, I'd like to know who. If the Met has a link to country music (CM_), I'd like to know that, too. It's probably obvious to someone who lives there, just not to the rest of the world across the Hudson.

CMJ is the College Music Journal. They hold a film festival every year (this is their 15th year), and selected The Audition as one of the films to screen.

Don't miss the Metropolitan Opera's broadcast of Verdi’s Aida Live in HD on October 24th at 1pm ET, in movie theaters around the world!
Set in ancient Egypt, Aida is both a heartbreaking love story and an epic drama full of spectacular crowd scenes. A cast of powerful voices and a grand production bring the story to lif...e on the Met stage (and on the HD screen). Violeta Urmana stars in the title role of the enslaved Ethiopian princess, with Dolora Zajick as her rival. Johan Botha plays Radamès, commander of the Egyptian army, and Daniele Gatti conducts. Among the score’s highlights is the celebrated Triumphal March.
