A singing competition unlike any other — in which acting counts as much as vocal talent. The 2026 Lenya Competition Finals showcase ten exceptional singing actors vying for a top prize of $25,000. Finalists show they can “do it all” by presenting four contrasting theatrical songs and arias for a starry panel of judges consisting of Broadway veteran and Olivier Award nominee, Kyle Scatliffe, MasterVoices artistic director and Broadway conductor, Ted Sperling, and two-time Tony Award-winning composer, Jeanine Tesori.  Come see why Opera News says “no vocal contest better targets today’s total-package talents!”
