Deborah Voigt attended the California
State University at Fullerton, later taking part in
San Francisco Opera's Merola Program for young artists.
She first attracted international attention when she
won first prize at the Luciano Pavarotti Voice Competition
in 1988, and the gold medal at Moscow's Tchaikovsky
International Competition in 1990. Following more than
a decade of exceptional achievement, Ms. Voigt was
recognized by the French government in March 2002,
when she was decorated with the prestigious "Chevalier
de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres," France's
top literary and artistic award. Shortly afterward
she was named Musical America's 2003 Vocalist of the
Year. |
