LIVE – 12th International Stanisław Moniuszko Vocal Competition

LIVE – 12th International Stanisław Moniuszko Vocal Competition

Organised by Polish National Opera, the International Stanisław Moniuszko Vocal Competition is the biggest singing competition in Poland. Every three years, young artists from around the world gather in Warsaw to present their talents and, for many of them, the Competition is a launch pad for an international career. Streamed live by Slippedisc for our readers courtesy of OperaVision.

Established in 1992 by Maria Fołtyn, Polish soprano opera director and promoter of Stanisław Moniuszko’s oeuvre, the Competition celebrates its twelfth edition in 2025. The list of past prize winners and finalists includes such excellent artists as Aleksandra Kurzak, Mariusz Kwiecień, Małgorzata Walewska, Olga Busuioc, Salome Jicia, Andrzej Filończyk, Krzysztof Bączyk, Joanna Zawartko, Ewa Tracz, Long Long, Gihoon Kim, Maria Motolygina, Gabriela Legun, Nombulelo Yende, Juliana Grigoryan and Jakub Józef Orliński. The Competition Jury is made up of managers from top international opera houses alongside respected artists and singers. From its very beginning, this event has been more than just about artistic competition at the highest level. The Moniuszko promotes Polish repertoire to an international audience. Each singer performs at least one Polish opera, oratorio or operetta aria in the Finals – not only by the Competition’s patron Stanisław Moniuszko, the father of the Polish opera, but others such as Fryderyk Chopin, Mieczysław Karłowicz, Karol Szymanowski, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and contemporary Polish composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki, Paweł Mykietyn and Paweł Łukaszewski.
