The Festival d’Aix-en-Provence is especially proud to announce that several artists and ensembles who participated in the 2024 Festival were among the winners at the 2025 Oper! Awards ceremony, held on Friday, 21 February at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels.
Corinne Winters, the radiantly passionate American soprano who received a standing ovation for her (dual) title role in Gluck’s Iphigénie en Aulide – Iphigénie en Tauride, the opening production of the 2024 edition of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, was awarded the prize for Best Female Singer of the Year.
Pygmalion — the ensemble founded and conducted by Raphaël Pichon, a longstanding collaborator of the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence — which captivated audiences with the 2024 world premiere of Samson by Rameau, was awarded the prizes for Best Orchestra and Best Choir.
Lastly, the recording of Meyerbeer’s Le Prophète, performed in concert version at the 2023 Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, with the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Mark Elder and the Choir of the Opéra de Lyon, and in co-production with Palazetto Bru Zane, was awarded the prize for Best Opera Recording.
The entire team at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence extends its warmest congratulations to these artists.
