SearchWelcome to The Dallas Opera Guild Biennial Lone Star Vocal Competition, reviving a proud Texas tradition for new generations of aspiring young opera singers!
Designed to alternate with The Dallas Opera Guild National Vocal Competition, the statewide version puts the emphasis on local opera artists who are just beginning their careers. Largely impacted by the pandemic and in need of our support more than ever, young artists will take the Dallas Opera stage to showcase their impressive talents in front of industry peers.
Stay tuned for details about our 2022-2023 concert which will be held on Friday, March 31, 2023 at 7:30pm.
