HKIOSC is NOW POSTPONED to 2023
Musica Viva has been carefully monitoring the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and while the situation is less threatening in Hong Kong, it is still unknown when the currently enforced social distancing guidelines and travel restrictions will ease. With the health and safety of our participants at the topmost priority, regretfully, Musica Viva has decided to postpone the Hong Kong International Operatic Singing Competition (HKIOSC) and the Masterclasses to 2023.
The postponed event shall take place in April/May 2023 in Hong Kong.
- For individuals interested in participating in the HKIOSC 2023, the application shall reopen in September 2022.
- For applicants of the HKIOSC 2020, 2021 and 2022: Specific application arrangements due to the postponement of the HKIOSC will be emailed to individual applicants. Please kindly review the email for details.
