The Opera Hall of Fame, established by OPERA America in 2020, recognizes exemplary artists, administrators, and advocates in the field. This year, a selection committee of established professionals and supporters with a deep understanding of the opera industry selected nine honorees from a pool of more than 200 distinguished nominees.

The inductees will be enshrined on the Hall of Fame wall at the National Opera Center and honored at the OPERA America Salutes awards dinner on March 20, 2026, at The Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Information about the OPERA America Salutes awards dinner is available here. For more information about the Opera Hall of Fame, visit Opera Hall of Fame.
