Lexi is soon to travel to England to further her singing career and says the prize money will certainly give her a chance to reach new heights as an operatic singer. Lexi sang Nell Grave Tormento from the Mozart opera Mitridate as well as O Luce Di Quest Anima from the Donizetti opera Lina di Chamounix.
Adjudicator was Patricia Oertel, a two-time winner of the Patricia Fagan Operatic Aria final.
Congratulations Lexi. Long may your successes continue.
