Flynn, from New York, won with an aria from the “Marriage of Figaro” and a song from “Annie Get Your Gun.” Moore, from Maryland, took first prize with an aria from “La Forza del Destino” and a song from “Showboat.” Meyer said being selected as one of the finalists is highly competitive. Several past finalists have performed in Sun Valley Opera concerts. Opera singers today are expected to sing pieces outside of the standard opera repertoire.
