Merely six months after the finals of season 1 of its home-grown English language singing talent show -- The Stage -- Colors Infinity has opened entries for season 2. It promises to repeat the success of its first edition or even go beyond.

Twenty singers showcased their singing talent in season 1 telecast between October and December 2015. 19-year-old Yatharth Ratnum was the winner. This year, singers from across the country will get an opportunity to participate by submitting their video entries on http://www.colorsinfinity.com/thestage/ . The channel has already started taking entries from June 10, 2016.

Shortlisted participants from the online entries will vie in the on-ground auditions to be held in Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru for the final spots. Judges Vishal Dadlani, Monica Dogra, Ehsaan Noorani and Devraj Sanyal reunite with host Shibani Dandekar for season 2.

Ferzad Palia, EVP, Viacom18 and Head of English and Youth Entertainment, said: “India is a goldmine of talent. And we proved it last year with 20 of the best English singing talent competing in the first season of the show. The Stage has done what no one has done before. It has given the unexplored English singing talent in India a unique platform to show their mettle and enthral the audience with their sheer brilliance. Evaluating the response to the first season of the show, we have broadened the horizon by inviting participation from all over the country through our online platform and on-ground auditions. Season 2 of The Stage promises to be grander not only in terms of participation but also the quality of the talent that we anticipate to grace the show.”

Produced by SOL, a stalwart in the field of non-fiction content, the show promises to give viewers a different take on the music scene in India.

Fazila Allana, SOL producer said, “With the first season, we introduced India to some amazing English music talent that was undiscovered. Now, this year, with the second edition, we are taking it up a notch with open auditions and are eagerly awaiting the flood of talent that will surely greet us.”

The dates of telecast and other details have not yet been finalised and the channel will announce those once the auditions are closer to the end.
