The Future of Opera 2024 (S4 | E181)
THE GIULIO GARI INTERNATIONAL VOCAL COMPETITION
I sit down with Artistic Director, Donald Levine, of the highly prestigious Giulio Gari Foundation. We talk through many of the finalists and winners of this year’s competition. And who are these wonderful vocalists:
Our Business: The Future of Opera
The Giulio Gari Foundation was created to continue the legacy of Giulio Gari by recognizing and helping young singers. Through its annual International Vocal Competition and Reception, the foundation acknowledges exceptional vocal talents by awarding them with financial support, and mentorships and introducing them to the professionals in the world of opera.
The Foundation was the inspiration of the late Stephen De Maio and Licia Albanese, who admired Maestro Gari as an artist and a great humanitarian, along with the help and guidance of Mrs. Gloria Gari and their son, Glen R. Gary.
To date, The Giulio Gari Foundation has awarded over $750,000 to the most talented young opera singers.
