Organized by Joventuts Musicals de Martorell and the City Council, the contest has grown by 9% compared to last year. International interest is high, with 67% of singers coming from abroad, including nations such as Germany, Argentina, Australia, and Japan.
The participants, aged between 18 and 35, include sopranos, tenors, and baritones who submitted video performances for the preliminary round. The jury features experts from prestigious institutions like the Gran Teatre del Liceu and Palau de Les Arts Reina Sofia.
“"This shows that the competition is becoming increasingly consolidated at an international level."
The semifinals will take place on March 21, 2026, followed by the grand final on March 22 at the Auditori Joan Cererols. The first prize is valued at 5,000 euros and includes professional concert tours.
