The McCammon Voice Competition has been introducing young operatic talent to the world stage since 1985. 28 semi-finalists for 2016 were selected by a preliminary judging panel from 180 entrants from the United States and around the world. These included 15 entrants from Korea, six from Canada, four from China, and one each from Australia, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, and Spain. The winner is offered a role in an upcoming production of Fort Worth Opera. The 2014 MVC winner, Korean baritone Joo Won Kang, will be singing the role of Figaro in the 2016 Fort Worth Opera Festival production of The Barber of Seville.
