The Eva & Marc Stern Artist Award
We celebrate rising artists in the industry in a (really) big way.
The Eva and Marc Stern Artist Award celebrates, supports, and propels the artistry of rising opera singers in the industry.
The award recognizes artists with deep connections to LA Opera and serves as an expression of gratitude for past, present, and future contributions to the company's creative endeavors. The honorific prize will assist artists with the many significant expenses required by a professional career in opera, including language studies, travel, coaching and preparation.
For 2024, the $75,000 prize money has been divided between three outstanding individuals: conductor Louis Lohraseb, stage director Kaneza Schaal and administrator Patricia McLeod.
