Following a week of remarkable performances, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World reaches its climax with the final from St David’s Hall. Sixteen of the world’s most outstanding young opera singers gathered in the Welsh capital to compete for one of the most prestigious titles in opera. Now, just five remain to sing again.

Petroc Trelawny and Josie d’Arby present full coverage from St David’s Hall where they are joined by guests Jamie Barton, the American mezzo-soprano who won the competition ten years ago, and Neal Davies, the Welsh bass-baritone who won the Song Prize title in 1991.

For the finalists, this is the last chance to impress our panel of judges: Sir Brian McMaster, former director of both Welsh National Opera and the Edinburgh International Festival, acclaimed Argentinian mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink, Welsh soprano Rosemary Joshua, multi-award-winning composer Errollyn Wallen, and returning as chair of the jury, Aidan Lang, general director of Welsh National Opera.

The finalists perform with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, conducted by Ryan Bancroft and Michael Christie.

At the end of the evening, one singer will be awarded the title BBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2023.
