Music Theater at the Wien Awarded Opera House of the Year

The jury honored the return of the historic venue after a two-year closure and extensive renovation with the award.

The Musiktheater an der Wien impressed in the 2024/25 season with a "bold and wide-ranging program" that encompassed more than four centuries of music history - from staged productions to operas in concert form to educational initiatives, according to the jury. The best director of the year was awarded to the German Claus Guth for his production of the opera "Salome" for the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Lithuanian soprano Asmik Grigorian excelled in the best singer category.
