Denver Lyric Opera Guild
The Denver Lyric Opera Guild (DLOG) is a non-profit membership organization based in Denver, Colorado. It was founded in 1965 to support the Denver Lyric Opera Company, which unfortunately closed in 1968. Despite this, the Guild continued to operate, focusing on its core mission: encouraging and supporting young singers and providing continuing education for its members in the appreciation and knowledge of opera.
Mission and Activities
The Guild's primary activities include:
-
Competition for Colorado Singers: Established in 1984, this annual competition supports singers ages 23-32 in advancing their operatic careers. Winners receive financial awards to help further their education and performance opportunities. Since its inception, the competition has awarded over $815,400 to winners[1][2].
-
Grants: DLOG provides financial grants to college and university voice performance programs and opera apprentice programs across Colorado. These grants support young artists and have totaled nearly $775,000 from the Guild's endowment funds[1]. Beneficiaries include programs at Colorado State University, University of Colorado, and apprentice programs with Central City Opera and Opera Colorado[1].
-
Education and Performance Events: The Guild organizes regular events such as "Opera on Tuesdays," featuring performances by competition winners and opera students. Members also participate in annual regional and national opera tours, which enhance their understanding and appreciation of opera[2].
Impact and Funding
Over $1.5 million has been distributed through competition awards and grants since the Guild's inception[1]. DLOG generates support through member contributions and its endowment portfolio.
Recent Achievements
In recent years, the Guild has successfully hosted notable concerts and masterclasses, collaborating with prominent figures in the opera community. For instance, it partnered with Central City Opera for a concert featuring former competition winners alongside renowned artists[2].
