Who will buy the first five tickets for the live shows? Andi Knoll and Fanny Stapf welcome the first 25 talents to the DGC stage
Vienna (OTS) – The time has come – “The Big Chance – Let’s Sing and Dance” is starting its first round! On Friday, March 8, 2024, Fanny Stapf and Andi Knoll will welcome you to ORF 1 at 8:15 p.m. for the start of the new season of the ORF hit show. The first 25 talents show what they can do vocally and in dance on the DGC stage: from opera to folk music, from hip hop to tap dance – whether solo or in a group, the entire spectrum is represented and tried out on the largest TV stage in the country to inspire the three-person jury with their performances. Who will make the jump straight into the live semi-final shows with the “Heart Buzzer”? The talents who secure one of five tickets for the live shows still have a great chance of winning 50,000 euros.
Andi Knoll: “It’s finally starting again! I’m looking forward to Austria being able to show a large audience what it can do! I promise there will be a lot of wow experiences and surprises and a handful of talents that I believe will stay with us.”
Fanny Stapf: “There are so many moments when your mouth just stops open! I feel the full carousel of emotions with our talents: trembling, sweating, anticipation – everything. Regardless of whether the talents are 7 or 81 years old, many are standing on such a large stage in front of an audience for the first time. And for me it is simply incredibly special that I am able to experience exactly these minutes with the talents and support them. A bit like the big DGC sister.”
