Operalia is open to singers aged 18 to 32 from around the world. In 1997, Chinese baritone Liao Changyong, then 28 and now president of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, won first prize at Operalia in Tokyo, earning Domingo’s appreciation. His career also received much support from the maestro.Operalia 对全球18至32岁的歌手开放。1997年，时年28岁的中国男中音廖昌永（现任上海音乐学院院长）在东京的 Operalia 比赛中夺得一等奖，获得了多明戈的赏识。他的演艺事业也得到了这位大师的大力支持。

Liao described competing that year as “one of the best decisions of my life”. In addition to hosting Operalia, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music has also appointed Domingo as an Honorary Professor of the conservatory and Honorary President of the Shangyin Opera House.廖称当年参赛是“我人生中最棒的决定之一”。除了主办歌剧大赛，上海音乐学院还任命多明戈为该校荣誉教授，同时担任上音歌剧院荣誉院长。

After Liao, Chinese singers such as He Hui, Yang Guang, Yu Guanqun, Wang Yunpeng, Li Ao and Bu Le have also left their names on Operalia.继廖昌永之后，何慧、杨光、于冠群、王云鹏、李奥和布勒等中国歌唱家也在普拉西多·多明戈世界歌剧大赛中留下了自己的名字。

In addition to traditional opera, the competition includes a Zarzuela category (a Spanish form of operetta).除了传统戏曲外，该赛事还设有萨苏埃拉类别（一种西班牙轻歌剧形式）。

Traditional opera tends to be sung-through, with the drama carried almost entirely by continuous music. A Zarzuela, by contrast, is built on a framework of spoken scenes interleaved with musical numbers. This spoken element gives Zarzuela a different dramatic rhythm and a more direct, conversational intimacy.传统歌剧往往是全唱式的，剧情几乎完全由连续的音乐来推进。相比之下，萨苏埃拉歌剧则以对话场景为框架，穿插音乐段落构成。这种对话式的元素赋予了萨苏埃拉歌剧独特的戏剧节奏，以及更直接、更具对话感的亲密氛围。

Domingo’s parents were both Zarzuela singers, and the maestro himself began his career singing Zarzuela. This time in Shanghai, vocal music lovers will have the good fortune of hearing young talents from around the world perform this genre, which Domingo is extremely fond of.多明戈的父母都是萨苏埃拉歌剧演唱者，而这位大师本人也是以演唱萨苏埃拉歌剧开启职业生涯的。此次在上海，声乐爱好者们将有幸欣赏到来自全球的青年才俊演绎这一多明戈极为钟爱的歌剧体裁。

The finals will be livestreamed on the official WeChat accounts of the Shangyin Opera House and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.决赛将在商音歌剧院和上海音乐学院的官方微信公众号上进行直播。
