Did you particularly enjoy our world creation The Time of Our Singing directed by Ted Huffman last season? Did MM Ambassadors Sally Matthews and Enea Scala give you goose bumps with their role debuts in Norma? Or was above all Il trittico your season highlight, and have Alain Altinoglu, Tobias Kratzer, Corinne Winters (Suor Angelica) or Péter Kálmán (Gianni Schicchi) all the right to be crowned Conductor, Director, and (Fe)male Singer of the Year?
It's up to you: contemplate, debate and... nominate!
