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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cardiff Singer of the World 2021.
In the opening round, singers from Mongolia, Venezuela, China and Georgia compete for a place in the grand final.

Featuring music by Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti and Mozart, the singers are accompanied by the Welsh National Opera Orchestra conducted by Michael Christie.
