The competition immediately established itself by instituting the then-unheard-of policy of abolishing age requirements. Aware that existing limits did not allow for the late-maturing\, dramatic voice\, and by careful scrutiny of more mature applicants’ achievements\, the founders decided to trust their instincts by opening the door of opportunity to more mature as well as to younger singers. This policy paid off in unexpected dividends. Competition winners James Valente\, Angela Brown\, soprano\, Audrey Stottler\, soprano\, and Kim Josephson\, baritone\, went on to sing title roles at the Metropolitan Opera\, La Scala\, and New York City Opera\, while Heather Myers\, contralto\, Audrey Luna\, Metropolitan Opera\, Eugenie Grunewald\, mezzo soprano\, Anna Shafajinskaya\, soprano\, Vienna Staatsoper\, Berlin State Opera\, Lyric Opera of Chicago\, Houston Grand Opera\, San Francisco Opera\, and other major opera houses of the world. Another competition innovation included behind-screen auditions\, following the age- and colorblind policies of major world orchestras.
