Vocal Competition

The Opera at Florham Vocal Competition was established by the Opera Guild in 1987 to honor Mrs. Violetta Pollara DuPont, a founding member of the Guild, for her vision and her tireless work on behalf of OAF.  In sponsoring the Competition, the OaF Guild acts in concert with the mission of OaF.

The Opera provides young artists on the threshold of promising careers with the opportunities and experiences to advance those careers though a variety of programs such as the Competition.

The goal of the Competition, which is open to all singers, is to support the growth and development of singers by offering cash prizes and an opportunity to perform publicly with OaF in recital or in an opera production. More than a dozen previous finalists are now on the rosters of the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera and other companies here and abroad.
