The countdown continues for the new edition of Operación Triunfo arriving on Prime Video, accompanied by notable updates. Following the release date reveal, the streaming platform announced that María Isabel Rodríguez, widely known as Masi, will host the post-premiere segment. Her role adds a bright musical voice to the show, complementing the talents the program already showcases.
In this lineup, Masi joins the established hosting team for Operación Triunfo. Chenoa will lead the galas as host, while Xuso Jones takes on the role of presenting the daily program OT al día, where current events inside the academy are analyzed and discussed. The combination is designed to provide audiences with a dynamic balance between performance highlights and behind-the-scenes insights.
The creator carries a substantial media résumé. Hailing from Malaga, Masi previously hosted Fuera de Tono on Amazon Music and collaborated with Chenoa on the Europa FM podcast Tómatelo less serious. Their creative rapport extends to a recent joint project, as Masi participated in a musical video for Xuso Jones titled Pelis de amor. In addition, Masi has hosted multiple programs featuring prominent broadcasters and has been involved in Ibai Llanos projects, including the early iterations of Disaster Chiefs, where she conducted interviews during Idol Awards events.
On the streaming frontier, Masi achieved a milestone during her Twitch debut by drawing an audience that surpassed the early record of Ibai Llanos. Approximately 40,000 viewers connected throughout the one and a half hour live event, signaling strong audience engagement. The current box office success Don’t touch the story remains a focal point, and Masi is touring with her stage production. Reports indicate that she is set to expand her screen work with a new fictional role in the upcoming Berlín spin-off this December. The project is generating anticipation among fans and industry observers alike.
What unfolds at the first premiere of OT 2023 promises to be a pivotal moment. Gala 0 will introduce the contestants to the Academy, accompanied by the teaching staff and the Academy director Noemí Galera. The premiere night will feature Masi as the post-gala host, with broadcast timing slated for after the gala every Monday. In these initial sessions, Masi will join select teachers and the academy leadership to recap the highlights, unpack key moments from the gala, and engage with the contestants as emotions run high.
