Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is thrilled to announce our 2023 Gerdine Young Artists and Gaddes Festival Artists. The artists will perform in the Center Stage concert, and also perform and serve as covers in our 2023 Festival Season.

The GYA audition tour made its way through 7 cities again this year from coast to coast: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Saint Louis. From over 1,100 applications, 36 artists were selected. Among them, for the second year as a new position, is the Apprentice Pianist. The artists represent 15 US states and territories, and 6 other home countries.

We are excited for these talented young artists to join us at the Loretto-Hilton Center for our Festival Season!
