The VISION of the San Miguel MetOpera Trust is to achieve international recognition for outstanding young Mexican opera singers congruent with the level of their talent.


To make this vision a reality, our MISSION is threefold:
a. MISSION: To identify the very best voices in Mexico
b. MISSION: To provide those singers opportunities to be heard by the most important decision-makers in the opera world
c. MISSION: To support those singers in the early phases of building an international career

To fulfill this mission, we have established the following STRATEGIES:
a. STRATEGY: To establish and sustain relationships with opera professionals throughout Mexico who can help to identify talent;
b. STRATEGY: To ensure financial support for the Mexico District, MetOpera National Council auditions held annually in San Miguel de Allende;
c. STRATEGY: To prepare the winners of the annual Mexico District MetOpera auditions to go on successfully to the next round, the Gulf Coast Regional Auditions in New Orleans, by providing voice coaching, voice instruction and coaching in stage direction by maestros who work regularly within the standards of the American opera industry.

For information on our Winners of 2018, 2019 and 2020 please go to – https://sanmiguelmetoperatrust.org/en/ and click on Auditions.
As our singers are scattered in various cities, countries and even continents, at times we need to provide flights to bring them together for events such as the next round of Met Auditions or a concert for donors and further fundraising.
Please know that we will use your generous donation very carefully and that SMMT and our singers are very grateful to you for your support.
