What did your participation in this competition bring to you?
I was able to acquire a whole of one opera I chose for the competition. Different from other competitions, this competition is quite unique in that you have to memorize and learn a whole of one opera and you can be informed which part of it you perform on stage on the day before your performance date. So it is suited to be named “Opera Competition.” Learning about a whole of one opera would be an asset for you. In addition to that, it is very characteristic of this competition that young singers from all over the world and superb juries listen to your singing.

Please give a message for young singers to apply for the next competition.
This competition is well-organized. Financial support of expenses for travelling and accommodation helps you to participate in the competition. Also, you can concentrate on singing since volunteers give full support to you, so you should try this competition. I hope you would go to the final round and then enjoy feeling of pleasure, tension and achievement by singing with a great conductor and orchestra, because there is not so much chance to sing accompanied with an orchestra in an orchestra pit.
