This friendly competition for emerging Manitoban artists is the perfect opportunity for the community to come together and hear some of the operatic voices lighting up our province.
Eight singers will perform an opera aria and (new in 2026!) a piece of their choice that is meaningful to them – this could be opera, art song, musical theatre, an original composition, a pop song…the sky is the limit!
Audience members will vote for their favourite singers, with input from some experts in the field to help guide them along the way. Three prizes will be awarded at the end of the evening with the help of judges Lara Ciekiewicz, Jacqueline Loewen, and Melanie Whyte.
Join us for this 7th edition of Opera Idol, supporting emerging vocal artists in Manitoba!
St. Andrew's River Heights United Church is an affirming space, and a wheelchair-accessible location.
