The Opera Buffs, a long-established force in the musical life in Southern California, is dedicated to supporting emerging opera singers at the crucial juncture--the years of transition from student to professional performer. Since 1983, hundreds of Southern California-based singers, including such artists as Brian Asawa, Richard Bernstein, Michelle DeYoung, Greg Fedderly, and Deborah Voigt, have benefited in the early stages of their careers from the financial and moral support of our nonprofit organization.
