The award will be presented on February 21, 2025 during the gala at La Monnaie / De Munt, with the winners of the remaining 19 OPER! AWARDS’s categories announced. For almost 20 years, and now in the final season of his tenure, director De Caluwe has been leading La Monnaie/De Munt at a consistently high level and with undiminished creativity – setting an exceptional record in the international opera business and worthy of an award – Jury Chair of the OPER! AWARDS, Ulrich Ruhnke, said.
The OPER! AWARDS are Germany’s only international opera prize, publicly awarded by a jury of music journalists. It consists of 20 categories, with nominations for the previous year (2024). Last year’s winner of the ‘Best Opera House’ was the Dutch National Opera Amsterdam.
