Remember that opera conductor swimsuit competition we told you about last month? It's over, and a winner has been declared: none other than Maestro Bill Eddins, whose tongue-in-cheek entry impressed the judges. (The number of entries was not revealed.) Runner-up was Maestro Anthony Barresse (above) — artistic director of Opera Southwest in Albuquerque — who submitted photos of himself conducting on the beach, tossing aside his Nine Inch Nails t-shirt at a dramatic moment.
Impressively, Opera Candy was also able to award a winner of the opera singer swimsuit competition — and she didn't even need to record a separate video. Winner Sara Duchovany performed the role of Blonde in a Southern Illinois Music Festival production of Mozart's Abduction from the Seraglio that was inspired by Star Trek. Below, watch Duchovany perform "Durch Zärtlichkeit" in an out-of-this-world two-piece suit.
