Queen Sonja Singing Competition 2023 - Preliminary rounds Day 2

The Queen Sonja Singing Competition is one of the world’s leading competitions that transforms the careers of all participants. 

Held every two years in Oslo, the Competition draws on its global network of opera companies, conservatoires and professionals to bring together 40 of the best young singers from around the world. The singers compete not only for its main prizes but to also receive coaching, masterclasses, career development sessions and international exposure.

As a major advocate for the unique power of the human voice for over thirty years, Queen Sonja Singing Competition celebrates and inspires the singers taking part and connects them to audiences worldwide.

Through several rounds, a jury consisting of legendary singers, renowned opera directors and casting directors judge the singers with each competition culminating in a gala final concert and prize-giving ceremony with Her Majesty Queen Sonja. 

The next competition takes place in August 2025.

English

Dronning Sonja Sangkonkurranse er en prestisjefylt konkurranse som arrangeres i Oslo annethvert år for sangere fra alle verdensdeler. Konkurransen arbeider kontinuerlig for å gi unge sangere muligheten til å eksponere seg og for å være en døråpner for innpass i den profesjonelle musikkverden. Konkurransen opererer også som en aktiv brobygger mellom norsk og internasjonalt musikkliv. 

Konkurransen er organisert som en stiftelse. Stiftelsens institusjonelle samarbeidspartnere er Den Norske Opera & Ballett, NRK, Norges musikkhøgskole, Kunsthøgskolen i Oslo og Det kongelige hoff. 

Sangere av alle nasjonaliteter kan søke om deltakelse i konkurransen. Øvre aldersgrense er 32 år. Det inviteres også til hver konkurranse flere lovende talenter nominert av konkurransens samarbeidende operaakademier. Gjennom flere runder blir deltakernes prestasjoner vurdert av en jury bestående av anerkjente navn fra den internasjonale operaverden. Høydepunktet i hver konkurranse er den storslåtte finalekonserten og prisutdeling med H. M. Dronning Sonja

Neste konkurranse arrangeres i Oslo i august 2025.
