The Metropolitan Opera National Council (MONC) invited Mexico to become its 41st audition district in 2017, making it possible for MONC to say, for the first time, that its auditions would soon be held across all of North America. The first Mexico District auditions took place in November, 2018 , the second in November, 2019 , and the auditions will continue annually.

​

SMMT conducts the Metropolitan Opera National Council's annual Mexico District auditions, which are held in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato and are a prelude to the Mexico District's New Orleans.
