Saturday, January 14 in the O’Donnell Auditorium of Nebraska Wesleyan
University, fifteen young singers competed in the Nebraska District of the
Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. The singers were vying for
scholarships and the opportunity to advance to the Council’s Upper Midwest Region
Finals in Minneapolis next month.
Opera Omaha Guild President Sheila McNeill was on hand to award
one talented singer, tenor Adam Fieldson, the Opera Omaha Guild’s Metropolitan
Opera National Council Auditions scholarship. This $600 scholarship comes
with an invitation for the winner to perform at future Opera Omaha Guild
events. There was a strong showing from Opera Omaha at the event. Joining
Guild President Sheila McNeill was a past Guild President Gloria Dunbar, Guild
member Kate Morris, Board Chairman John Newman, Advisory Board member Don
Burt, and General Director Roger Weitz.
This is an annual event that is free and open to the public – we
hope to see you there next year!
