Program notes
The final round of the 14th Neue Stimmen International Competition is live on medici.tv.
Since 1987, Neue Stimmen revealed the voices of Vesselina Kassarova, René Pape, Nathalie Stutzmann, Dietrich Henschel, Angelika Kirchschlager, Christiane Karg... It is one of the most prestigious singing competitions in the world, and almost 1 500 candidates have been auditioning until now. On October 22, only 6 of them remain: they have been selected for their technical and interpretative skills, and they are all the "new voices" this year.
