Petroc Trelawny begins coverage of the international operatic competition as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. With the jury including the competition patron Dame Kiri Te Kanawa it is a daunting prospect for any young singer, but as past winners have gone on to stellar careers in opera this competition really can change lives. In round one there are singers from South Korea, England, China, USA and Croatia, while Petroc's special guest is the artistic director of the Welsh National Opera, David Pountney.
