Where Are They Now?

Felix Gygli

1st Prize

Since the wonderful experience at EBISC '24 I continued my work in the Zurich Opera House and have since premiered Jonathan Dove‘s new opera "Around The World In 80 Days“ as the main role, Phileas Fogg. I was also featured in the SWR Young Opera Stars concert in Germany and will be singing at both the Salzburg and Verbier Festivals this Summer.

The Eastbourne International Singing Competition provided a very friendly and comfortable environment that I have rarely experienced in a competition and the generous prize has helped me to continue my development.

Winner, 

The Nicholas Partridge Award For Outstanding Creativity, 2024 

Since last year’s competition, I have been fortunate to continue developing my vocal artistry through various performances and projects. I have been kindly supported by the Josephine Baker Trust, which has helped me grow both technically and artistically. Also, I have performed Opera Scenes, singing the title role in Handel's 'Rinaldo' and also Valentiniano in Gluck's 'Ezio'. The Eastbourne International Singing Competition was a valuable experience that motivated me to pursue new opportunities, and I am truly grateful for it.
