James H. Schwabacher (1920-2006) was not only instrumental in the
establishment and development of the Merola Opera Program—
he became its very heart and soul, demonstrating an unwavering
commitment to the next generation of vocal talent. Jim was, first and
foremost, a noted tenor and scholar who graced many opera stages. And
just as important to him as making music was encouraging others to do
the same. Jim took pride in passing on to young artists insights gleaned
from his own career and studies, and he conveyed his rigorous musical
standards with a gentle and loving touch. In addition to his artistic
leadership, Jim provided vital financial and administrative stewardship
to Merola, serving as President of the Board of Directors for 29 years and
subsequently as Chairman of the Board for 15 years.
Devoted to the future of opera for more than half a century, his
leadership continues to inspire us to identify, train, and nurture the
world’s finest young operatic talent.
