“Young artists need to be given wings”, says world-renowned opera singer Éva Marton. As Professor Emerita of the Liszt Academy, she has dedicated years to mentoring and championing the next generation of talent. This mission remains the heart of the prestigious international singing competition that bears her name, now hosted for the seventh time by her alma mater. The competition provides a unique platform for emerging artists to showcase their talent before a jury of international luminaries, marking their first major step onto the global stage. In this preliminary round, competitors will demonstrate their artistry and individual flair through the performance of one Liszt song and two arias. With a professional breakthrough on the line, this is where their journey truly takes flight.
