La Monnaie nominated for two International Opera Awards
The nominations for the International Opera Awards 2023 have been announced! In recognition of our Green Opera project and the social programme 'A Bridge between two worlds', La Monnaie is shortlisted in the categories 'Sustainability' and 'Equal Opportunities & Impact'.
This year's International Opera Awards, the "Oscars" of the opera world, will be presented on 9 November at the Teatr Wielki in Warsaw, during a ceremony that you can follow via free livestream on OperaVision.
La Monnaie is proud to announce it has been nominated in two categories:
In the category "Sustainability" for our ecological commitment and our Green Opera programme;
In the category "Equal Opportunities & Impact", for, among other initiatives, our social programme 'A Bridge between two worlds'.
In other categories, we are pleased to discover the names of La Monnaie artists such as Nathalie Stutzmann, who made her debut in our orchestra pit with Queen of Spades last sesaon, and former music director Sir Antonio Pappano. Both are nominated in the category "Best Conductor". Sopranos Jodie Devos and Sally Matthews (MM Ambassador) have been nominated in the "Recording (Solo Recital)" and "Readers' Award" categories, respectively. Corinne Winters, whom we saw at work in our 2022 production of Il trittico, has a chance of winning the award for "Best Female Singer", and, finally, the Collectif 17h25, of which La Monnaie is part, is a fellow nominee in the category "Sustainability".
