Opera Birmingham is thrilled to announce the receipt of an endowed gift from the Levin Family in honor of the memory of their parents, Jerry and Sis Levin. Jerry and Sis were opera enthusiasts and were instrumental in founding the Vocal Competition in 1978. Jerry wanted Birmingham to become the site of an annual operatic competition that encouraged young singers at the start of their careers, and this tradition has been fulfilling that mission for over forty-five years!
To honor that legacy, beginning with the 2024 Vocal Competition, the Audience Favorite Award will be renamed “The Jerry and Sis Levin Prize.”
Everyone attending the concert will be able to hear each singer perform one aria of their choosing, and one aria that the judges choose for them. Guests will then mark their ballots for their personal favorite, and the tally will reveal the audience favorite!
