2 Meds win Neue Stimmen
NewsAn Italian soprano and a Spanish baritone, both aged 26, have been named winners of the Bertelsmann-backed voice competition in Gütersloh.
Francesca Pia Vitale and Carles Pachon each take home 15 grand, along with the approval of jury chair Dominique Meyer, Sovrintendente of La Scala, Milan.
“Meds”???
Because, yeah, coming up with a shortened name for a particular ethnic/geographic group always goes well.
I was wondering what their medical qualifications were, naïve soul that I am …
I thought it was “medical” something or other. Never occurred to me that it could possibly mean “Mediterraneans”. I doubt that it will catch on.
I’ve heard Francesca twice in the last six months. She is going to be a huge star! Ridiculously good for her age, absolutely compelling on stage.
