ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
Quote OperaVision:
The finals of the 23rd annual Lotte Lenya Competition brings together 15 exceptional singing actors to New York City, vying 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 pieces.
In 1998, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of Lotte Lenya, an extraordinary singer/actress and one of the greatest interpreters of her husband Kurt Weill’s music, the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music established an annual competition bearing her name. It rewards talented young performers who, like Lenya herself, are convincing both dramatically and musically in a wide repertoire ranging from contemporary Broadway scores to opera/opera, not forgetting the works of Kurt Weill.
