Description

The Luciano Pavarotti Foundation Opera Naples International Voice Competition fosters the career development of promising young opera singers worldwide by providing a platform to be heard by a panel of industry professionals and compete for artistic contracts that will significantly further their careers. This competition is a revival of the renowned Luciano Pavarotti International Voice Competition, which was founded in 1981 and, at its height, had 1,500 applicants from over 25 countries.

Each winner will receive a minimum of $10,000 in contracts to perform roles and/or concerts with Opera Naples as well as other companies such as Florida Grand Opera, Teatro Bellas Artes Mexico City and Teatro Pavarotti Freni Modena Italia, within the next two seasons of the award.

In order to be a recipient of the prize, the winners should be available from February 24-March 2, 2025, in order to rehearse and perform in the 2025 Opera Naples Festival Under the Stars opening night concert on February 27, 2025 in Naples, FL and on March 1, 2025 with the Boca Raton Festival of the Arts in Boca Raton, FL.
