The Opera Awards - nominations open

The Opera Awards are new; they seek to reward excellence in opera whether it be from performers, producers or the teams that work in opera. The awards are being produced in association with Opera magazine, and sponsored by the Opera Foundation. Nominations are now open, and anyone can nominate a person or a company or a production. So get your thinking caps on and come up with the outstanding events in your operatic year (the awards cover the whole of 2012). Closing date is 31 January 2013 and the awards will be presented at an awards ceremony on 22 April 2013 at the Hilton Hotel in Park Lane. So lets see if we can make the Opera Awards a serious celebration of the best in opera. Nominations are via an on-line form on their website.
