"The mission of the competition The Voice of Kamen is to pay tribute to and continue the life of the ideas and the understanding of the Tenor Kamen Chanev about the essence of the opera. Kamen lost his life tragically, stricken by COVID-19, just a few days after he recreated uniquely the peak of the tenor repertoire - the role of Verdi’s Otello. His last role is the gift, with which he gave the best of him to the art of opera.
The competition The Voice of Kamen is an opportunity for young tenors from all over the world to transcend the message of full devotion and honesty towards Art, that was so important to one exceptional tenor. A tenor, who is part of the most valuable history of the Opera world.
The first edition of „The Voice of Kamen competition is part of Legacy II program of Plovdiv – European capital ot culture 2019."
