Voting is now open for the Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year by the Dallas Opera. This year’s nominees are selected from the artists who made their Dallas Opera debuts during the 2021/2022 Season.
Among those is John Holiday whom we profiled prior to his appearance in Flight. Inspired by the legacy of soprano Maria Callas, who launched The Dallas Opera in her 1957 company debut, subscribers—and this season extended to individual ticket buyers—determine a winner by popular vote.
Voting began Tuesday and will end Friday, June 3. The winner will be announced on June 16. The nominees include: Opera’s Greatest Hits: Maria Agresta, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, Kathryn Lewek, Alexandra Loutsion, Ewa Płonka, Lauren Snouffer, Michael Sumuel and Gabriele Viviani.
