We are tremendously proud of tenor Travon Walker (ESM '21) as he embarks on his career! And, his IMG manager is Noah Sesling (ESM '22). He says:

Now that all the announcements are out, I guess it’s time for an official post. 🤓
Baby’s first Mozart, three months in Belgium, a Met debut, and a return to my home company all in one year. I never could’ve imagined this to be my first season out of the Ryan Center, but I’m so incredibly thankful and ready to see what this career has to offer. So grateful for Noah Sesling and IMG Artists for making this all possible!
Only two weeks left as a young artist, and while it’s bittersweet, I plan to savor as much of it as I can! Let’s do this.

First glances from the first Kodak Hall rehearsals of our 1970s disco version of Die Fledermaus! The stage extends in front of the pit, too.

We are immensely proud of Anna Thompson (ESM '22) for being named a Grand Finals Winner of the 2026 Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition. Brava, Anna!!!
