About Cardiff Singer
Established in 1983, this biennial competition quickly became known throughout the classical world as the premier showcase for opera and concert singers at the start of their careers.
Cardiff Singer of the World was started by BBC Wales in 1983, and has since become the world's premier singing competition.
Hundreds of talented young singers from all around the world apply to take part in the competition, hoping to be among the 25 who come to the capital of Wales to represent their country.
All eyes are on Cardiff during one week every other June - agents, managers, opera house directors, impresarios - whether they are in the city or experiencing the competition via the TV, radio and web broadcasts.
BBC Cardiff Singer of the World is organised by BBC Cymru Wales in association with Welsh National Opera and the City and County of Cardiff.
