A note from recent Opera Buffs grant recipient, Anastasia Malliaras...
I wanted to write to you and send my sincerest gratitude to Opera Buffs. Because of a grant that I was awarded by Opera Buffs, I was able to take an audition trip to New York City in November. During that trip, I auditioned for Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. I was accepted to the program as an apprentice this spring and will be covering Despina in Cosí fan tutte. I will also be playing Mrs. Hayes in Susannah and the Shepard in Tosca.
This opportunity would not be possible if it weren’t for The Opera Buffs! Thank you so much for your support!

Support the Artists of the Future, Estrellas del Mañana Competition
The Opera Buffs Inc. and Hispanics for LA Opera are thrilled to present a new vocal competition specifically geared for young, classical vocalists, ages 16-22, in the Los Angeles area. We are very excited to highlight the rich and vast Spanish art song repertoire in this competition along with traditional operatic repertoire.
This competition is unique to the LA area in that it is specifically geared towards high school and early college aged students. Our mission in creating a competition for this younger cohort of singers is that we will not only provide financial support to those interested in pursuing a career in opera, but we will also provide valuable educational resources and networking opportunities, all of which will encourage and support their journey as an artist.
We hope you'll consider making a contribution to support the next generation of young opera singers!
