What previous competitors have said:

"The judging panel was filled with important people in the business, many of whom were willing to share feedback and also to take the competition as a sort of audition for their respective companies. Anytime we can sing for opera administrations, especially on a stage, with an orchestra, it is an incredible opportunity. The Dallas Opera Guild Vocal Competition gave us this incredible opportunity." L. Wilde 2017 competitor

"I found this to be a very high profile panel from all around the globe. Typically singers wouldn't be heard by these professionals unless we made the trip to Europe or entered a European competition. The fact that they have now heard us with piano and orchestra is hugely beneficial when we sing for them again, hopefully in a house audition." L. Metzger 2018 competitor
