Zachary Society Competition

Carol Worthey and Ray Korns attended The Loren L. Zachary Society’s 35th Anniversary Grand Finals Concert of the 2007 National Vocal Competition for Young Opera Singers. Each and every contestant was phenomenally gifted with gorgeous voice, great presence and emotional power, to such an extent that Carol shed tears at times and joined the ecstatic crowd in cheers of approval.

Michael Fabiano, Tenor from Philadelphia and Jennifer Black, Soprano from Astoria, New York were First and Second Winners. Carol thanks her dear friend Donna Broderick for inviting her each year and for her constant encouragement. Special thanks to Nedra Zachary for her graciousness and devotion to this remarkable competition, founded by her late husband.

Mezzo Malesha Jessie was in the audience (she had premiered an art song by Carol in 2006), fresh from her role in LA Opera’s "Porgy & Bess". In 2006 Carol was fortunate to meet winner Russell Thomas, Young Met Artist and extraordinary Tenor--stay tuned.

One thing can be proclaimed here and now: Despite rumors to the opposite, Opera is alive and well!
