BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — A Hungarian talent show for young classical musicians is on the verge of being replicated around the world. The creators of "Virtuosos" have signed a deal with Dick Clark Productions, the company behind the American Music Awards, to license the format of the successful Hungarian program internationally.
Dick Clark Productions said there was interest in the show from China and Japan among others, and were working on a U.S. television deal. Mariann Peller, creator and producer of "Virtuosos," said it was "a great joy that a Hungarian format can finally set foot abroad."
In Hungary, "Virtuosos" is recording its second season of nine episodes lasting 90 minutes on average, including a gala event, and chose the 81 participants in the initial round from over 2,200 musicians in three age groups.
