La Monnaie has received two nominations at the prestigious 2025 International Opera Awards, honoring the most impressive artistic performances and most innovative projects of the past opera season. Music Director Alain Altinoglu is in the running in the category ‘Best Conductor’, Eugene Onegin may be crowned ‘Best Recording’.
This year, the International Opera Awards ceremony, the ‘Oscars’ of the opera world, will take place on November 13th at the Greek National Opera in Athens. It will be broadcast live on OperaVision.
La Monnaie is delighted to announce the nomination of its Music Director Alain Altinoglu in the Best Conductor category. “Alain is a fantastic conductor who not only possesses a unique artistic sensibility,” according to General director Christina Scheppelmann, “but also infectious enthusiasm and the increasingly important communication skills needed to promote opera to the musicians and audiences of tomorrow. This nomination is therefore more than deserved, and we consider ourselves very fortunate that he will remain our music director until 2031!”
La Monnaie also received a nomination in the ‘Best Recording of the Year’ category for the release on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming, by Naxos, of its production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin. We would also like to congratulate Calixto Bieito, director of our upcoming production of Mozart's Idomeneo, re di Creta, for his nomination in the “Best Director” category; Véronique Gens, who returns to La Monnaie on 24 November with her recital Invitation au voyage, for her nomination in the “Best Female Singer” category; and finally, tenor Bogdan Volkov, our Fenton in Falstaff, nominated for the “Readers” Award'.
In the passed editions, La Monnaie / De Munt was proud to win the Award for Best New Production, with The Tale of Tsar Saltan and From the House of the Dead, for Best World Premiere with The Time of Our Singing, and last year for 'Equal Opportunities & Impact' with our social programme A bridge between two worlds.

Next year, the non-profit association 'Mortier Awards' will present the Mortier Next Generation Award, for the fifth time. This prize, worth € 30,000, supports artistic projects of young artists in keeping with the spirit of Gerard Mortier, former La Monnaie director and great innovator of the art form opera.
This summer, for the Barcelona premiere of the opera Bovary, the La Monnaie Chorus will perform on the stage of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.
