The Jury of the Competition

The Jury of the International Singing Competition of Marmande is composed solely of personalities who are able to propose engagements to the candidates. They are potential employers who come to listen to singers at the beginning of their career.

Unfortunately, despite our efforts in this direction, the composition of the Jury does not reflect our desire to welcome general managers, casting directors, artistic directors…

In 2022, for example, we invited 10 women and, mainly for scheduling reasons, only 1 confirmed her presence. We have invited 17 men and 12 are present.

and we work every day to do more and better...

The Nuits Lyriques are respectful of differences and diversity.
