Breaking: BBC cancels the next Cardiff Singer of the World

Breaking: BBC cancels the next Cardiff Singer of the World

The BBC announced today that it cannot put on its international singing competition next year, due to prolonged building work and other issues at its regular venue, St David’s Hall. The next contest will take place in 2027.

St David’s shut 10 months ago with roof problems.

If this were football, the BBC would find another solution.
