Opera Idol is about to rock Auckland:

The Opera Factory provides an annual programme of performance, opportunity, education and training for enthusiastic singers of all levels, specifically for singers intending a professional career. “A core mission of the Factory has always been to stimulate a lifelong love of opera, helping students develop the performance skills and knowledge in the performing arts through first-hand experience.
"This event is an opportunity for Auckland’s students to compete in a friendly and encouraging environment and demonstrate their vocal skills in a more classical context” says Opera Factory Director Sally Sloman.
The audition fee is $15 and entry forms are downloadable here.
