Prodigios (Argentine TV series)

:For the pop music format, see Prodigios Pop (Argentine TV series)
Prodigios (Spanish for Prodigies) is an Argentine classical music talent show for singers, dancers, and musicians aged 8 to 16 and is based on the French reality competition Prodiges. All performances are accompanied by a choir of roughly 40 voices and a full orchestra of approximately 60 members under the direction of Anabel Urquidi.
Unlike the original series in France, for which both episodes in each season are pre-recorded, the season finale in Argentina's version is a live show for which the overall winner is decided solely by televoting despite the super finalists from each category being decided by the corresponding judge. The semi-final, however, is pre-recorded.
