New Voices 2019 - Semifinals

With 43 opera talents from 26 countries, the international singing competition NEUE STIMMEN awaits for the 2019 final round. After the four-month selection process in 23 cities, the best of the originally around 1,500 applicants are now looking forward to the possibly unique opportunity to appeal to jurors and industry experts with their voice and their personality
to convince. The highlights of the competition are the concerts for the semifinals on October 24th and the finals on October 26th in the Stadthalle Gütersloh. “Music connects people across languages ​​and borders. In this way, even in these turbulent times, she can build a bridge between nationalities and cultures. This is particularly evident at NEUE STIMMEN. The young singers are in competition with each other, but they still enjoy the opera together and support each other. This is living community! During the final round, we help them to make valuable contacts and also support them after the competition with the next steps in their career,” says Liz Mohn, NEUE STIMMEN President and Deputy CEO of the Bertelsmann Stiftung.
For more than 30 years, the international singing competition has served as a springboard for talent, paving the way for artists such as Marina Rebeka, Franco Fagioli, Jakub Jósef Orlínski, Elsa Dreisig, Nadine Sierra, Christiane Karg and Emily D'Angelo. This year, singers from five continents are traveling to Gütersloh, 23 women and 20 men have qualified, with the soprano voice being the most strongly represented, as expected. An overview of all participants including nationality, age and voice type can be found below.
