HEAVEN or hell at sea?
Hapag-Lloyd has announced that this
year Europa will play host to the fifth
“Stella Maris” singing competition in
which eight talented young singers from
famous opera houses will vie for glory on
board the ship in the Lieder, opera and
oratorio categories.
The audience will play an active part in
the musical event, choosing the winner,
who can look forward to a 15,000 euro
prize courtesy of Hapag-Lloyd cruises.
Meanwhile, the no less coveted “Test
Recording” and “Guest Engagement”
prizes will also be dished out to the eager
opera stars, awarded by a prestigious jury.
