The 23rd Annual Lotte Lenya Competition Finals
A singing competition unlike any other — in which acting counts as much as vocal talent. The Finals of the 23rd annual Lotte Lenya Competition brings 15 exceptional singing actors to New York City to vie for a top prize of $20,000. Emerging from a pool of 500 contestants from around the globe, Lenya Competition finalists will show they can "do it all" by bringing to life four contrasting theatrical selections. Streamed live on 28 August before an invitation-only audience in New York City, the event will be broadcast on OperaVision beginning in September 2021.
