The 2010 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions winners were announced.  The youngest winner is 22 years old.  Meanwhile, the Met’s production of Shostakovich’s “The Nose” is getting great reviews.

The only loser I can find really isn’t one. While critics deride Ambrois Thomas’s “Hamlet”, it still gets productions, including this weekend at the Met.
