On Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022, Edmonton Opera (EO) held the finale for its first Rumbold Vocal Prize competition at the Jubilee Auditorium. The core principles of the annual Rumbold Vocal Prize are to provide financial assistance, experience and exposure to emerging Canadian artists in order to assist them in further career development. Out of 145 applicants from across Canada, four finalists were chosen to compete. The finalists had the opportunity to participate in a week-long professional development program, including a vocal master class conducted by world-renowned Canadian soprano Adrianne Pieczonka and a recital at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
The competition awards $12,000 for first place, $8,000 to second place, and $5,000 to each third-place winner.
