This Friday, June 15, 2001, the masterclasses offered as part of the
Cardiff Singer of the World Competition will be offered in streaming video
over the internet, the first from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm BST (6:00 am to 8:00
am EDT in the States) and the second from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm BST (10:00 am
to 12 noon EDT in the States.) Master teachers are sopranos Barbara
Bonney and Gundula Janowitz, mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne and baritone Tom
Krause.

Check out some of the fine singers involved in this great competition
(past winners have been Karita Mattila, Inger Dam-Jensen, Dmitri
Hvorostovsky, Bryn Terfel, Katarina Karneus, Paul Whelan and Christopher
Maltman): each singer is represented by one selection on the Cardiff
competition website. Besides the winners from the first three nights of
competition, tenor Marius Brenciu (Romania), mezzo Elina Garanca (Latvia)
and soprano Andion Fernandez (Phillipines) , check out mezzo Stephanie
Novacek (USA), soprano Maryna Vyskvorkina (Ukraine), and baritone Vladimir
Moroz (Belarus). While last night's competition winner has not been
announced on the web, I'd vote for either mezzo Ekaterina Semenchuk
(Russia) or soprano Natalie Christie (Australia). The singers from the
Kirov Academy have really taken the competition by storm!
