Good day,
I am Dovile Naujunaite-Mockeviciene. Dramatic soprano from Lithuania.
The worlds best networked singing competition is a chance to show myself, see other great singers and of course  to have wonderful experience. That's why I am here.
I would like to meet with Angela Gheorghiu. Because she is wonderful singer, her interpretation of music is unique.
What about future I have a lot of objectives and much more dreams about my career. I hope this competition will help my dreams to come true.

Hello from Montreal! My name is Cairan Ryan, I am a Canadian baritone, and I am extremely excited to participate in the 2015 competition. I was at the 2012 competition in Vienna and the standard was very high. I'm excited to have the chance to sing for agents, companies and conductors in Europe through the competition. 

If I were on a flight, sitting next to any singer I admire, it would be Mr. Simon Keenlyside. He is one of my role models, and it would be fascinating to hear some of his stories. I'd love to pick his brain about the art form. 

In five years (crossing fingers) I hope to be continuing singing for a living, so I can do what I love, and give something back to the world.
