Four Russians to participate in the final stage of Operalia
MOSCOW, July 24 (Itar-Tass) -- Thirteen singers, including four
Russians, will perform today in the final stage of the Operalia contest
together with an outstanding Spanish tenor Placido Domingo. The final
stage of the prestige show, which is for the first time organised in the
Russian capital, will take place in the Moscow Stanislavsky and
Nemirovich-Danchenko Academic Musical Theatre.
Each of the 13 finalists, selected by the jury, will demonstrate
skills on the stage with Placido Domingo, which is already a victory for
the participants who had passed all the hearings. Domingo this evening
will conduct the orchestra board, which will accompany the contestants.
Among the finalists there are four representatives of Russia. They
come from Moscow's Novaya Opera /New Opera/, from the Youth Programme of
the Bolshoi Theatre and from the Academy of Young Singers of the Mariinsky
Theatre.
The first prize of the Operalia contest is 30,000 dollars, the second
- 20,000 and the third is ten thousand dollars. Each of them will be given
both to a male and a female voice.
Operalia, the World Opera Competition, was founded in 1993 by Placido
Domingo to discover and help launch the careers of the best young opera
singers of today. His goal is to attract singers of all voice categories
and from all around the globe and to let them be heard by a panel of
distinguished international opera personalities, in the most prestigious
and competitive forum in the world.
Under Domingo's artistic guidance, Operalia is a competition open to
all voice categories for singers from 18 to 30 years of age who are ready
to perform on the world's great opera stages.
Operalia takes place every year in a different city in the world. The
competition was organised in Mexico, Madrid, Bordeaux, Tokyo, Hamburg, Los
Angeles, Washington, Valencia, Milan, Paris, Puerto Rico and other cities.
"Russian singers have won prizes so often that it is time to organise
the contest in the country, which has one of greatest schools of singing,"
Domingo said.
