OPERA IDOL 2021

2021 NH Opera Idol will bring 15 Final emerging opera performers together in a Final Round Remote Competition and offer over $5,000 in cash prizes and performance contracts. Join us and don’t forget to vote for YOUR favorite singers for the Audience Favorite Award!

Last year, our online (first time ever) competition saw over 2,000 visitors. We are so proud of our performers. Four of the finalists won cash prizes while others were offered performance contracts in our 2021 Summer Festival. It was a wonderful experience for all and we are thrilled to continue offering such a high level of singing in this our 17th year of NH Opera Idol. Piccola Opera wants to thank our sponsor, WKXL 103.9 1450 NH Talk Radio for being so very generous in supporting our annual competition.

So, onto this wonderful evening of opera – sit back and enjoy, and don’t forget to vote for our Audience Favorite Award Winner!
