Selected from hundreds of applicants from across the country—and auditioned among the top 100 of those!—you could definitely call the four Mary Ragland Emerging Artists a select group. These young artists will introduce opera to students in our 2024 education tour to Middle Tennessee schools.
In addition, these artists will gain valuable experience performing in the Opera’s mainstage production of The Magic Flute. Their experience is also enriched through masterclasses where they improve their craft in acting, stage presence, vocal projection, and the business of making opera a career.
