The new season of the TV casting format "Die große Chance" starts on Friday evening on ORF1. Eight Burgenlanders are also taking part. One of the three, who will be competing in the first show, even enchanted Irish world star Ronan Keating with his voice. 

From Friday, it's "Clear the stage!" again for Austria's greatest talents. Under the motto "Let's sing and dance", presenters Andi Knoll and Fanny Stapf will welcome singers and dancers every week who will show off their skills in pop, opera, poetry slam, rap, rock, pop music, hip hop, ballet, standard dance, contemporary, tap or folk dance and compete for the prize of 50,000 euros, which awaits the winner in the final on 17 May.

Eight Burgenlanders are among the 141 participants selected from more than 1000 applicants.
