Too bad none of these categories draw enough public interest to be featured on the broadcast.<br /><br />Speaking of awards, just returned from the Met Opera Rocky Mountain Regionals, where the Chinese bass-baritone Ao Li (member of SFO's Merola program) "tied" for first and is headed for New York to sing in the semi-finals.
