I am afraid you are out of line with your comments. I believe it would be more prudent for you to 1) abstain from calling the Met manager by names invented by you, and 2) insulting Ms. Park. Nobody is talking about 'audition', but testing the acoustics, as the original release by the Associated Press reads.
* Please, control yourself and don't spoil things for Andrea. Nobody is asking for opinions about this matter anyway. We just should limit ourselves to read the article and wait for a follow up if there is meant to be one. That's all. And for your information, 'out of season' for the Met means in between opera season. When Andrea performed at the Avery Fisher Hall it was right before the New York Philharmonic concerts season started.

*"testing the acoustics" means
"testare l'acustica"
