Baltimore Concert Opera's public audition to feature nearly three dozen singers
Baltimore Concert Opera, the recently formed ensemble that performs un-staged works at the Engineers Club, announced last month that it would hold public auditions under the title "So You Think You Can Sing Opera."
The auditions will have an Idol-like component, in that audience reaction "will potentially [play] a part in future casting decisions." The somewhat cheeky (others might say somewhat cheesy) project generated more eager singers than ...
the company can handle.
In the end, 34 were chosen to participate in this Baltimore's-got-talent effort, which will be held over the course of two evenings next week (July 13 and 14). For $10, you can get in on the fun of hearing the auditions and making your opinions felt. Sounds like a good occasion to dig out an applause-meter (remember those?).

I think this is a WONDERFUL idea! It is a very BALTIMORE...John Waters kind of a thing and there is nothing cheesy about it at all.
