There were many who clamored for Chenoa to be the presenter of the new edition of Operación Triunfo. Since it was learned that Amazon Prime Video would be the platform in charge of issuing the format, there were many fans who asked that the singer play a key role in this new installment. Finally, this Saturday it was the interpreter herself who announced it together with the platform. A piece of news that has made all those melancholic of the first edition especially excited, in which she participated in 2001.
The fourth finalist of the first edition will now debut as a presenter. The truth is that that first edition, in which Chenoa herself participated, marked an entire generation. That was the first batch of a large number of artists who later succeeded in the Spanish music industry. Among the Mallorcan companions are singers of the stature of David Bisbal, David Bustamante, Rosa López, Manu Tenorio or Gisela, among many others.
As we said, Amazon Prime will premiere this long-awaited new season this year exclusively, and it can be seen in Spain and Latin America. The news could not be better received by the fans. Chenoa, in addition to being one of the contestants in the first edition held in 2001, is one of the most important figures on the music and television scene. “When you go … I’ll come back! I can finally tell you that I am the presenter of ‘OT 2023′”, expressed MarÃa Laura Corradini – that is actually her name – through her social networks.
“Congratulations, how happy I am for you”, can be read in the comments of the publication shared on Instagram. “You deserve it” or “Spain is Chenoista” are some of the other comments that the Mallorcan’s followers have left in the publication. Undoubtedly, the fans of the program will appreciate being reunited with one of the most iconic faces of the format.
A few weeks ago, the singer gave an interview to the program Take it less seriously, by Carlos Marco for Europa FM, where she talked about whether she would be part of the new edition of the contest in any way. “I can’t say anything,” Chenoa expressed, trying to avoid the subject. “It would be a project that would obviously close my circle, because I have been in the first edition, for me it is something super special,” she said then, moving all the fans
“I keep listening to what I covered and the same nerves keep getting me, as if I were there, and they are experiences that remain for a lifetime. I love OT, of course I want it. I would love it, I won’t say no,” he said then. Now this is a reality, and Chenoa will once again feel the affection of the audience of the production.
The news of the return of Operación Triunfo was confirmed last April. In this new edition, the format will return thanks to the production company Gestmusic, which initially launched the format and will continue to include weekly live galas, as well as a 24-hour broadcast on YouTube and Prime Video. It should be remembered that in its last edition, that of 2020, it was Roberto Leal who led it. A relief that Chenoa now takes.
Without a doubt, the return of the format is very good news for all those loyal fans who always await its return. The 2020 edition was broadcast on RTVE. The fourth edition was the first broadcast on Telecinco, from which other stars such as Pablo López, Edurne or Soraya emerged and, after suffering again over the years in terms of audience, it resurfaced in 2017 back on RTVE with Amaia Romero as winner and Aitana Ocaña as second classified.
