Join Houston Young People for the Arts for an evening with Opera Vista!

Join our steering committee members for this annual competition pitting 7 semi-finalists from around the world against each other.

A great part: You get to be the judge!

Here’s how it works: You’ll see excerpts from the four finalist operas — selected from Wednesday’s audience (this all starts on March 24…which you are free to attend, too). An internationally-renowned panel of judges will ask one question and then the audience can ask the composers questions. The audience will determine the winner and results will be announced on Saturday, March 27th.

Tickets are $20 for everyone. Visit http://www.operavista.org to purchase tickets.
