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 對全球18至32歲的歌手開放。1997年，時年28歲的中國男中音廖昌永（現任上海音樂學院院長）在東京的 Operalia 比賽中奪得一等獎，獲得了多明戈的賞識。他的演藝事業也得到了這位大師的大力支持。

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.廖稱當年參賽是“我人生中最棒的決定之一”。除了主辦歌劇大賽，上海音樂學院還任命多明戈爲該校榮譽教授，同時擔任上音歌劇院榮譽院長。

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.繼廖昌永之後，何慧、楊光、於冠羣、王雲鵬、李奧和布勒等中國歌唱家也在普拉西多·多明戈世界歌劇大賽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).除了傳統戲曲外，該賽事還設有薩蘇埃拉類別（一種西班牙輕歌劇形式）。

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.傳統歌劇往往是全唱式的，劇情幾乎完全由連續的音樂來推進。相比之下，薩蘇埃拉歌劇則以對話場景爲框架，穿插音樂段落構成。這種對話式的元素賦予了薩蘇埃拉歌劇獨特的戲劇節奏，以及更直接、更具對話感的親密氛圍。

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.多明戈的父母都是薩蘇埃拉歌劇演唱者，而這位大師本人也是以演唱薩蘇埃拉歌劇開啓職業生涯的。此次在上海，聲樂愛好者們將有幸欣賞到來自全球的青年才俊演繹這一多明戈極爲鍾愛的歌劇體裁。

The finals will be livestreamed on the official WeChat accounts of the Shangyin Opera House and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.決賽將在商音歌劇院和上海音樂學院的官方微信公衆號上進行直播。
