This January saw the final of Ireland’s most famous and acclaimed singing competition, the 6th Veronica Dunne International Singing Competition, take place in Dublin. This year, the €10,000 first prize went, for the first time, to a South African singer, 30-year-old soprano Pumeza Matshikiza. Competitors from as far a field as Korea and Australia sang in three highly competitive heats in front of the world’s top opera music experts over the course of an action packed week of rounds to win the prestigious prize named after Ireland’s Grand Dame of Opera, Veronica Dunne, with Matshikiza being the fourth of six finalists to be heard on the night of the grand final. The six finalists were all supported by the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Laurent Wagner. The evening was a very prestigious occasion boasting performers from all over the world and audience members such as President Mary McAleese and members of the IILEX Council including Director of Education; Maria Kielty and President Veronica Duffy.
