The 2016 International Opera Awards marked the fourth edition of the International Opera Awards , launched by Harry Hyman, a British businessman and philanthropist, and John Allison , editor of the British trade magazine Opera .

Goals and ceremony

The second presentation of the International Opera Awards took place on May 15, 2016 in a festive setting in London's Savoy Theater . The structure of the award ceremony is based on the tradition of the Academy Awards , with five or six nominations and one winner who is not announced until the ceremony. The ceremony was musically designed by three winners from this year and two from previous years - Anna Bonitatibus , Ann Hallenberg , Ermonela Jaho , Gregory Kunde and Stuart Skelton . Two members of the National Opera Studios, Kate Howden and William Morgan, also sang. Roger Vignoles was responsible for accompanying the piano .

The aim of the award ceremony is to promote outstanding achievements in the field of opera and to highlight them in a journalistic way. The award winners state that there are a number of music and culture prizes, but until the founding of the IOA, no international award specifically for the field of music theater.

Furthermore, outstanding talents and young artists should be brought into the limelight.

  2. The term was intentionally not translated into German, as the literal translation (accessibility) certainly does not precisely describe the objective of the prize. This prize - this is not the description of the organizers, but the Operaphilia website , see operaphila.org - is dedicated to the efforts of opera houses “for innovative ideas that widen access to opera” (for innovative ideas that open up access to opera for new audiences ). The first prize was the New York Metropolitan Opera for its HD Broadcasts, live transmissions of Met performances in cinemas worldwide.
