Soprano Jennifer Smith, 27, of Tustin won a $500 Encouragement Award in the Western Regional Finals of the Metropolitan Opera auditions held Saturday night at USC. Smith had won first-place honors in the Orange County district auditions last month at Chapman University. As an Encouragement Award-winner, she will not go on to compete for contracts with the opera company at the national finals next spring.
