During an international career that has brought her to many of the world’s most important opera
houses, Mary Dunleavy has affirmed her position as one of America’s leading singing actresses. Ms.
Dunleavy was born in Connecticut and raised in New Jersey. She received her undergraduate degree
from Northwestern University, where she studied with Kathleen Kaun. She earned her Master of Music
degree at the University of Texas at Austin, where she studied with Mignon Dunn. In 2006, she was
named one of four Outstanding Young Texas Exes by the University. Mary Dunleavy works with a
variety of leading teachers and coaches, including Rita Shane, Renata Scotto, and Ron Raines,
among others. She is also a frequent guest teacher at master classes at universities, conservatories,
and young artist programs in the U.S.
John Hancock, baritone, made his MetOpera debut as le Gendarme in Les Mamelles de Tirésias
under the baton of James Levine. He has appeared in a dozen roles with the company, including:
Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro, Albert in Werther, Brétigny in Manon, Capulet in Roméo et
Juliette, and both Marcello and Schaunard in La Bohème. Now in his tenth season with the Bard
Music Festival, Mr. Hancock has enjoyed frequent collaborations with Leon Botstein and the American
Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Hancock’s extensive discography includes the release in September 2013
of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius with Edo de Waart and the Royal Flemish Philharmonic.
Gayletha Nichols joined the artistic staff of the MetOpera in the fall of 2000 as Executive Director of
the National Council Auditions. She brought to the Met two decades of experience as a singer,
teacher and career advisor. From 1992-2000, she was Director of Houston Opera Studio, the young
artist development program at Houston Grand Opera, where she created and individualized the
training both for singers and pianists. Ms. Nichols auditions hundreds of singers across North America
every year and in her travels addresses many universities, conservatories, and festivals on developing
the next generation of opera singers. She is a frequent adjudicator in national and international
competitions and consults for other young artist programs across the country.

"The soprano reached the peak of her
aria, Vissi d’arte, and my heart melted.
The beauty of the music touched me in a
way that I had not anticipated. I was
fifteen, standing in the wings in my first
solo role with an orchestra: the shepherd
boy in The Israeli Philharmonic
Orchestra's production of Tosca. I can still
remember my excitement when I heard
that I had won the role, after auditioning
for Maestro Zubin Mehta; and I can still
remember the feeling of joy at performing
alongside such great musicians, and the
desire to be on stage and sing. That experience made me realize I want to make music my
profession."
- Lianne Aharony (Soprano Age 27)
"I am so excited to be competing this year with Emily's Goodbye Aria from Ned Rorem's Our
Town, it is not performed very much and I am thrilled to give it some light at the competition. It
truly is a hidden gem in the American Opera repertoire."
- Chelsea Friedlander (Soprano Age 27)
"I started singing classical music as a teenager and loved it because I was able to use my
loudest, most powerful voice, but as I've gotten older, I've learned to enjoy the pianissimo
moments in life as much as the fortissimo moments."
- Elizabeth Francesco (Soprano Age 29)
"I've always been a Jane of All Trades. I started college as a political science major with the
intention of completing Pre-Med courses as well. I had well-crafted plans to become a specialist
in international conflict resolution or a Neuroscientist/Neurosurgeon. But opera soon intervened
and now I'm affecting more lives than I ever could have imagined."
- Helena Brown (Mezzo-Soprano Age 27)
"I had a really hard time fitting in growing up, but when I discovered my love for singing and
opera I found that I was right where I belonged. I know pursuing an operatic career is not an
easy path but there's nothing more gratifying than pursuing your dreams with all that you've
got."
- Danielle Beckvermit (Soprano Age 23)
"I was born and raised in the heart of downtown Manhattan. My parents are chefs, and they
taught me to create and experiment. I sing because I believe there is nothing more visceral and
truthful than music produced by the naked human voice. What this broken world needs right
now is truth."
- Theo Hoffman (Baritone Age 22)
