A celebration of opera and voice is set to take place at the Wales Millennium Centre.
The concert, which will take place on October 8, will feature performances from previous BBC Cardiff Singer of the World winners and finalists.
Presented by Danielle de Niese and Gareth Malone, the gala event will honour the world-renowned singing competition as part of the Llais Festival.
An impressive line-up of past winners and competitors will perform, including soprano Natalya Romaniw and mezzo-soprano Catriona Morison, mezzo-soprano Katarina Karnéus, tenor Ilker Arcayürek, baritone Andrei Bondarenko, and Ryan Vaughan Davies.
These talented artists will perform alongside the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under the baton of Xu Zhong.
The concert will be recorded for later broadcast on BBC Two Wales, BBC Four, and BBC iPlayer.
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, BBC Cardiff Singer of the World patron, said: "I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve been able to invite these internationally renowned singers to come together for a special celebration concert."
The concert will serve as a replacement for the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition in 2025, which will be on hiatus due to renovations at St David's Hall.
The competition is expected to return in 2027.
