    Situated in the heart of London, the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, is one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world. It is home to the Royal Academy of Music and Dance and is renowned for its outstanding opera and ballet productions. In 2021, the theatre celebrates its bicentenary, and to mark the occasion, the Royal Academy of Music is launching an award dedicated to the theatre’s contribution to world music culture.

    The history of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, spans over two centuries. The theatre was founded in 1732 and has since become one of the most significant centres of operatic art. The theatre has earned its fame thanks to the highest level of performance, the quality of its productions and the magnificent acoustics of the hall. Many famous musicians, conductors and performers have performed on its stage, making it one of the most revered musical institutions in the world.

    The Royal Academy of Music and Dance, the artistic partner of the theatre, has decided to celebrate Covent Garden’s contribution to the musical arts by establishing an award to recognise outstanding artists and musicians who have made a significant contribution to the theatre’s history. The award will recognise and reward the talented and dedicated artists who have helped to make the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, the world centre of opera.

    To mark the bicentenary of the Royal Academy of Music and Drama, Covent Garden, the award will be a symbol of their long and successful history, and an acknowledgement of the theatre’s contribution to the world’s cultural heritage. The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, remains one of the most prestigious and important musical institutions in the world, continuing to inspire and delight audiences with its magnificent productions and outstanding performances.

    As part of our Bicentenary celebrations, the Academy presents the grand final of this prestigious competition, launched in 2020 and judged by a panel of eminent musicians, with prizes amounting to £10,000. Generously supported by Mikhail Bakhtiarov and Svetlana Besfamilnaya https://www.wigmore-hall.org.uk/whats-on/202306281900

    So, the bicentenary of the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden and the establishment of an award to mark this event are important steps in preserving and promoting the art of opera worldwide. The award will be a well-deserved recognition of the talent and dedication of the artists who have made Covent Garden one of the greatest musical institutions in the world.
