2021: Round 1
The world’s most prestigious opera singing competition returns to St David’s Hall in the Welsh capital, with 16 promising young performers competing to be BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2021.\n\nIn the opening round, singers from Mongolia, Venezuela, China and Georgia compete for a place in the grand final. To sing again on Saturday, they must first impress this year’s expert panel of judges – Welsh baritone Neal Davies, who experienced success in this competition in 1991 as winner of the Song Prize, acclaimed American soprano Roberta Alexander and chair of the jury, Aidan Lang, general director of Welsh National Opera.\n\nFeaturing music by Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti and Mozart, the singers are accompanied by the Welsh National Opera Orchestra conducted by Michael Christie.
