Photo made available by the singer.

I am Vasko Zdravkov and believe that my participation in the Belvedere Singing Competition 2016 will give me a chance to present my voice and vocal technique and that there will be important people to here my voice and to meet them as well. 
That will be a great experience for me as an singer. I wish to meet Dmitri Hvorostovsky, because he is my type of voice baritone and because he has big charisma as an artist. 
I see myself as a main role singer in some opera house in 5 years.

My name is Masha Salimi, soprano. I'm from Iran and now am living in Italy.   
To come to Vienna and participate in the contest of Belvedere is an indescribable emotion. I 'm so happy and thankfull to have a chance to sing in such an important contest, a great opportunity that not many of  my people have. I would like to meet so many singers and artists who all are a source of inspiration and motivation for me . 
My goal right now is to find a position where I can grow and take on new challenges over time and in 5 years from now  I’d like to a get involved in more production . But most important: I want to work for the passion and love that i feel inside for music and i 'd like to build a  career on that. Please find me on YouTube.

The Belvedere is one of the most renowned international competition in the world, I feel very special to have a chance to sing for it this year and cannot wait to perform.
