La Monnaie’s production of Bernard Foccroulle’s Cassandra and its stage director Marie-Eve Signeyrole have been nominated at the International Opera Awards 2024. These prestigious awards recognise the best and most innovative projects programmed on the international stage.
This year’s International Opera Awards ceremony will be held on 2 October at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich and will be broadcast live on OperaVision.
La Monnaie is delighted to learn that Bernard Foccroulle’s Cassandra, which opened our 2023-24 season, has been nominated for Best World Premiere. Marie-Eve Signeyrole, who brought this new creation to the stage, has been nominated for Best Director. We also rejoice in the nomination of soprano Elsa Dreisig, whom will welcome at La Monnaie for the recital Dichterliebe later on this season, in the Best Female Singer category. Finally, we would like to congratulate our colleagues of the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège on their nomination as Best Opera Company.
La Monnaie has previously won awards for Best New Production for The Tale of Tsar Saltan and From the House of the Dead, Best World Premiere for The Time of Our Singing and the Equal Opportunities & Impact Award for our social programme A bridge between two worlds.
