Italian wins low-key BBC Cardiff
OperaBBC Cardiff Singer of the World 2023 was won last night by the Italian bass Adolfo Corrado, 29.
The audience prize went to Julieth Lozano Rolong, 31 from Colombia.
The song prize, declared last week, was won by the South Korean tenor, Sungho Kim, 32.
There was not much to choose between a highly qualified set of finalists and UK media coverage was minimal.
After 40 years of the same format, the BBC needs to rethink promotion and presentation.
Corrado is managed by StageDoor.it in Bologna.
The final round will be streamed internationally from tomorrow on Operavision.
