Thank you so much! Fingers crossed.

Honestly, at the moment I have a hard time advising people to go for competitions unless they are really young. There are some young singers who are getting some contacts from the competitions. The big competitions are good if one can get to the finals. I am unfortunately too old for those ones. Starting pretty late cuts off a lot of opportunities.

I did manage to get the opportunity to participate in Gianni Schicchi through a competition once, but it still involved covering my travel and living in a different country for almost a month. Financially it is very straining.
