The Opera Philadelphia stage has a history as a welcoming environment where rising vocal talents are nurtured. Eric Owens, Stephanie Blythe, Denyce Graves, Jarrett Ott, and Will Liverman are just some of the young singers who went on to great operatic careers following early exposure to the professional stage in Philadelphia.
