Operalia, one of the most prestigious opera competitions in the world, is taking place in South Africa's second-largest city. Four out of the five South African singers selected for the competition have qualified for the semi-finals. The contestants, including soprano Nombulelo Yende and mezzo Sipokazi Moltino, express their passion for opera and their desire to tell stories through music. The competition offers exposure to managers, agents, and casting directors, providing an opportunity for singers to be discovered without having to travel internationally. Operalia was created by Spanish tenor Placido Domingo 30 years ago.
