Tampa, Fla. ─ Opera Tampa is thrilled to announce the return of the D’Angelo Young Artist Vocal Competition will take place on Sunday, Dec. 18 at the Straz Center.

Launched by Opera Tampa League board member and immediate past chair Gina d’Angelo as a living legacy to her parent’s internationally successful program, the D’Angelo Young Artist Competition in Erie, Penn., this competition will build the opera artists of tomorrow. The competition is made possible in part by the d’Angelo Family Endowed Fund for Vocal Education.

Registration for the competition is now open. More details may be found at www.operatampa.org.

The competition culminates in a free public performance by the finalists beginning at 4 p.m. Seating is limited.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COMPETITION 

In 1976, Dr. George D’Angelo was approached by the leadership of then Mercyhurst College to support their fledgling piano competition and the D’Angelo Young Artist Competition was born. The competition was expanded to include string instruments and voice. The first year there were three contestants, and in its last year well over 100 artists submitted applications.

The D’Angelo Young Artist Competition became very well respected on an international level. Applications were received from all over the world and many of the winners were from countries as far away as Russia and Korea. The competition continued for 25 years and supported talented young performers, many of whom have gone on to win other prestigious competitions and perform with major national and international orchestras and opera companies, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
