Agents scuffle over Operalia winner

We hear there was quite some jostling between artist agencies over the right hand of Operalia winner Stephano Park – the hand that signs away his career management.

The winner was announced last night. He is Nathan Morrison of London-based Intermusica. Park will be well managed.

Park, from South Korea, has been a member of the Vienna State Opera studio since last year.

  • Carl says:

    I’m sure he’s a fine singer but agencies should be asking themselves whether it’s appropriate for any singer to associate themselves with Domingo these days. Yes, Domingo has been welcomed back into some corners of polite society (mostly in Europe, not the U.S.) but that doesn’t excuse his widely documented behavior. Think about that, Intermusica.

  • Ex-agent says:

    I’m surprised the grandson of Domingo did not sign him like he did with the two winners last year!

  • Angentisch says:

    You leave out the point that Dominic Domingo had already made agreements with the Operalia winners for management before the competition.
