Competent and committed

The international jury is made up of experienced professionals who guarantee the broadest possible understanding of the world of opera and music. Whether directors, conductors, music critics or singers - all these experts are represented on the 2009 jury. The common factor is that they have been working with young singers for many years. That is why promoting budding opera singers is a task very close to their hearts.
