Created by San Francisco Opera, in partnership with UCSF, the The Singer Mask: VOXCV (Voice 95) is scientifically proven to reduce aerosols, providing a safe and comfortable mask for professional singers.

San Francisco Opera collaborated with the University of California, San Francisco and Professor Sânziana Roman, MD, who endeavored to create a mask that is functional, comfortable, effective, and practical. A trained opera singer herself, Dr. Roman developed a design and, together with San Francisco Opera’s Costume Department, created a prototype. The mask was tested formally and independently at University of California, Davis by Professor Christopher Cappa, Ph.D. in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and showed powerful results. 

Now, San Francisco Opera and UCSF are happy to provide the mask designs free of charge. By downloading these mask designs, you are agreeing to the licensing terms laid out below.
