Ōtautahi Aria Gala 2026

The Christchurch Competitions Society Inc., are pleased to present:

                                                                                         The Ōtautahi Aria Gala

In association with Irelands Property Management, Pomeroy Group Hospitality Business Advisors & Recruiters, Pegasus Bay Winery & The Piano

Each year, The Christchurch Competitions Society hold a variety of competitive vocal classes for up-and-coming artists to showcase their talents to a wide audience, and further develop their skills with feedback from locally, and internationally, acclaimed adjudicators. 

The Arias specifically provide a professional arena for these talented artists to perform. This year we are excited to hold the Aria at The Piano, located in the vibrant heart of Christchurch; proudly supported by The Piano’s Emerging Artist Fund.

This year, we are transforming our Otautahi Aria Gala into a landmark cultural celebration. Utilising The Piano's world-class acoustics, the evening will culminate in a powerful "Musical Unity" performance, bringing together participants, teachers, and a mass-audience choir.

This will be followed by a networking event to welcome our emerging artists and connect them with their sponsors.

Join us on Saturday 11th July, 6pm as we showcase the next generation of Operatic talent who will be sure to take the world by storm!

Supper is included.
