I agree with you @musicamusica - very difficult in many cases to pursue this. One of my bosses (a physician in a specialty practice) funded his DD through the process - but first, the local opera person had to confirm early in her HS years if she was talented enough. Father almost went into concert piano - he played for her Juliard audition, and she was accepted. He was able to afford her studies in Italy, Germany, etc.along the way. She won the Marilyn Horne competition and she has ‘starred’ in opera productions in NY, Chicago, etc - so she is earning a living. I was very impressed with how her talent has ‘blossomed’.

That young man needs to live where there are many auditions - and he has to figure a way to advance - maybe he can get a sponsor or patron to help him.
