Wednesday 2 October 2024 www.operaawards.org As we prepare for the 2024 International Opera Awards, it is my pleasure to introduce this year’s shortlists, which represent the very best of the past operatic season. From jaw-dropping performances and thought-provoking productions, to companies blazing a trail in the fields of sustainability and social outreach, they are a testament to the artform’s depth of talent, infinite variety, and its capacity to engage with the wider world. Once again, our international jury of artists, administrators, and journalists has had a mammoth task, whittling down tens of thousands of nominations from opera lovers around the world to select these shortlists and, ultimately, our winners. I’m delighted that this year’s ceremony will take place at Munich’s storied Prinzregententheater, hosted by our 2023 (and 2018) Opera Company of the Year, the Bayerische Staatsoper. My thanks to the Intendant Serge Dorny, and all of his team, for welcoming us so warmly. Whether in person, or via the livestream on OperaVision, I hope you will join us on October 2 for this grand celebration of opera in all its glory. Harry Hyman Now over a decade old, the International Opera Awards continue to grow. Having started out in London—and moved online during the pandemic—we held awards ceremonies at the Teatro Real in Madrid (2022) and Teatr Wielki in Warsaw (2023) and are now happy to be in Munich: my heartfelt thanks to Serge Dorny and his colleagues at the Bayerische Staatsoper for making this happen. The gala celebration is set to include performances from Selene Zanetti, Tom Mole and Sean Michael Plumb—plus shortlisted and winning artists—with the Bayerisches Staatsorchester conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. For all the challenges faced by the operatic world today, our shortlists show there is no lack of vibrancy in the work being produced across the globe, and this is what we’re coming together to celebrate. I’d like to thank our distinguished jury for making this possible. John Allison Opera, November 2024 1435
