“I feel privileged to work alongside such esteemed coaches and colleagues, and I’m excited to embrace every challenge, grow as an artist, and contribute my voice to this incredible art form.”

Vitogiannis will be joined by five other young artists on the program including Chelsea Burns (soprano), Shikara Ringdahl (mezzo soprano), Elias Wilson (tenor), Jem Herbert (répétiteur), and Claudia Osborne (director).
