KEY POINTS:
Andrea Bocelli, 49, made it to the Metropolitan Opera - for an audition.
The blind tenor, who is friends with Met general manager Peter Gelb, sang some Italian art songs on the main stage on November 2, Met assistant manager Elena Park said.
While the Met is not looking to cast Bocelli in an opera, Park said he could sing in an out-of-season piano recital.
Bocelli has had a successful career in pop, but has received mostly negative reviews for his classical work.
