The selection process for the Chicago Opera Award is separate from The American Prize judging. Winning one competition does not preclude the possibility of winning the other and all rankings are handled and announced separately. The three singers selected to perform with the Chicago Bar Association Symphony Orchestra will be announced on The American Prize blog and to the media as winners of the Chicago Opera Award, but will not receive additional written evaluations or certificates beyond those they may receive as contestants for The American Prize.
We expect to announce Chicago Opera Award finalists by the end of this week, and semi-finalists for the various vocal competitions of The American Prize at about the same time. Please visit or "like" our facebook page for the exact schedule of when additional announcements will be made.
