The Voice of Black Opera VOBOs shows the future is exciting.
THE STELLAR field of a dozen international artists that contested The Voice of Black Opera competition was whittled down to one when Rachel Duckett was crowned the winner at the enthralling Grand Final concert, which took place at Birmingham Town Hall recently.
Its Founder and Artistic Director, Vincent Osborne, said afterwards: “The award-winning interpretations we saw from Rachel Duckett and Thando Mjandana were truly riveting. Through their passionate and committed performances at the Voice of Black Opera Final and throughout the whole competition process, all of our finalists and semi-finalists have eloquently espoused the cause of greater diversity and inclusion on our stages.
Speaking to The Voice post-ceremony, Duckett said: “I’m over the moon! It feels great. It’s the culmination of singing and working with such amazing people and having these amazing masterclasses. BBCF’s Osborne continued: “There is an embarrassment of riches and talent within our communities of colour, just waiting for opportunities and the right platform to be heard and seen. Voice Of Black Opera is the vehicle to drive the winners to become household names and in-demand at concert halls and opera houses throughout the world.”Babel
