Since 1995 the Queen Sonja International Music Competition has been launching the careers of young singers from around the world.
16/11/2004 :: In 2003, the soprano Olga Mykytenko, already well known in her native Ukraine, won the chance to build on her reputation.
Now the search begins again for a new star who, by winning the Queen Sonja International Music Competition in August 2005, will receive a rare opportunity to further his or her career on the opera stage and concert platform.
The whole of the international competition takes place over the course of a single week, from the opening rounds beginning on 19 August to the final concert, in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Sonja, in Oslo’s Concert Hall on 26 August - a week full of excitement and wonderful music making.
