Opera de San Miguel is a non-profit civil association devoted to discovering and stimulating, through grants and professional opportunities, the most talented young opera singers in Mexico.
Each year since 2008 we have organized Concurso San Miguel, a national competition in which all cash prizes awarded are raised privately, through generous donations from the international community of San Miguel de Allende, its residents and sponsorships from several local businesses.
Concurso San Miguel and the various concerts we present during each annual season have made San Miguel de Allende a unique opera center in all of Mexico.
More than 50 Mexican opera singers, winners of Concurso San Miguel —who are embarking on careers in the various theaters throughout Mexico and the world— are living testimony to our mission.
