The Audition

Watching “The Audition” on Great Performances on PBS.  Why? I haven’t a clue, really. I hated auditions. I’m grateful that I didn’t pursue solo music performance.

There’s a lot riding on these National Council auditions: there’s the money but the prestige of having made it thus far (the bunch being profiled have already made it to the semifinals).This is the Met, for crying out loud. At least there will be more than one “winner”. I think 4 or 5 will be selected.

I wish them all well. But mostly, I’m glad I’m not joining them!
