Member Spotlight: Arlene Miatto Albeldas - mezzo-soprano | Audition Oracle The Source for Opera, Choral, Musical Theatre singers and auditions

📣 This week's Member Spotlight welcomes 🇮🇹 Italian mezzo-soprano Arlene Miatto Albeldas 🌟

🎶Arlene wrote detailed, sincere and considered responses to our questions. Do read her full answers here in our blog 👉 🔗

❤️ What You Don't See Behind a Post

What you see: a triumphant aria.
What you don’t see: the fifth rejection that week, the vocal fatigue, the panic in her chest.

What would your "what they didn't see" post say?

Kidnapped? Don’t worry - the opera squad is on it’s way. It might take a few arias, a disguise and a tragic misunderstanding, but they’ll get there. 🎶👀

Who are the characters from the last opera you saw?

Who is coming it your rescue?

Remember:
❌ Rejection is data, not a verdict.
🌍 It’s a message from the world — but you decide what it means.
🎭 You are not your last audition.
🌱 You are a lifelong artist.
✨ Every “no” is one step closer to a more aligned, authentic “yes.” ✅

💙 In opera & the arts, rejection can feel like a judgment on your identity, not just your work.

Building resilience means protecting your mental, emotional & artistic well-being for the long haul.
