HKIOSC is CANCELLED
Musica Viva has been carefully monitoring the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and while the Hong Kong Government gradually relaxes some of the COVID-19 regulations, the existing conditions are far from ideal for holding a large-scale international competition such as HKIOSC.
In view of the circumstances, regretfully, Musica Viva has decided to cancel the Hong Kong International Operatic Singing Competition (HKIOSC) and the Masterclasses. No further postponement of the competition will be carried out. Arrangements for refunding the application fee will be sent to all existing applicants in the coming week.
