The ASC is Australasia’s richest competition featuring the Marianne Mathy Scholarship, ‘The Mathy’, which is regarded as the most prestigious award given to a young opera singer. 

 

This year’s winner of ‘The Mathy’, and overall winner of the Australian Singing Competition was the only New Zealand finalist.  Filipe Manu, a 24-year-old tenor from New Zealand gave a stunning performance singing Pastorello d’un povero armento from Rodelinda by Handel and Ah mes amis…Pour mon ame from La Fille Du Rėgiment by Donizetti.  The other four finalists competing on Saturday night from Australia were from NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland.
