For the past 32 seasons, the Annapolis Opera Vocal Competition has supported emerging artists, introducing them to our audience and a panel of esteemed judges as they compete for prize money.
This year’s competition was fierce, with semi-finalists selected from over 300 outstanding applicants from across the country, all of who submitted their virtual performances from their home states!
The final round will feature eight to ten finalists competing for more than $15,000 in awards.
The finalists’ performances and live-streamed award presentations will be held on April 11 at 3PM and is FREE to the public!
This event is made possible in part by a generous grant from the Helena Foundation.
