Hibla Gerzmava is an Associate Professor of Solo Singing at the Moscow Conservatory and one of the world’s most sought-after opera singers, appearing on the world’s most prestigious opera stages. Hibla knows from her own experience how important it is for an artist to have the right start.
Our competition will serve as such launching pad for young talents. During public auditions, vocalists and accompanists will gain the necessary stage experience and become the subject of interest for audiences, artistic directors, agents, record label managers, music festival producers, and professional critics. 
We want the new generation of opera singers – artists of the twenty-first century – to develop and revitalise the best traditions of opera culture. We believe that through their creativity opera art and opera theatres will find a new breath, new popularity, and a new young audience!
