Opera UCLA is delighted to present the third biennial Vocal Vision Awards. The competition features a distinguished panel of judges comprised of opera professionals and academics who adjudicate the top three young vocal artists from a selected group of UCLA students. These artists are awarded scholarships in support of their dreams to master their instruments and to facilitate their progress as students.

The Vocal Vision Awards were made possible by a generous gift from Suzanne Weiss Morgen, who created the awards in memory of her mother and grandmother. Suzanne herself won the Sinatra prize in her junior year at UCLA and has decided to give back in this meaningful way to our current students.
