We are so excited to announce the winner of the 2022 Opera Idol competition: soprano Sydney Fabregas! This year had a wonderful assemblage of talented young artists, but Fabregas’ “opulent voice” truly set her apart. As the grand prize winner, Fabregas receives a full scholarship to attend the Milnes VOICE Studio, sponsored by the Tom Lysaught Scholarship Fund.

“The judges had a very hard decision this year selecting just one winner,” said Milnes VOICE Programs’ Executive Director Chad Sonka. “In the end, what set Sydney [Fabregas] apart was her opulent voice and we believe that the Milnes VOICE Studio will strengthen her gift even more and catapult her career above and beyond.”
