ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

On November 30, the historic stage of the Mariinsky Theatre hosted the ninth ceremony of the National Opera Prize “Onegin” – the main Russian award in the field of opera. It is awarded annually for outstanding achievements in opera. The expert council of the prize, and then the high jury, consider applications from the country’s opera houses – premiere performances of the last opera season and individual vocal parts. Even inclusion in the shortlist of the “Onegin” prize is recognition of the highest level of skill, and the laureates are the best of the best.

In 2024, 122 applications were received for the IX National Opera Prize “Onegin”, the expert council of the prize reviewed 31 opera performances. 14 theaters from 11 regions and 18 soloists were included in the shortlist.

“We approached each nomination very carefully, ” said the chairperson of the jury, People’s Artist of Russia Khibla Gerzmava . ” When summing up the results, we even looked at those performances that for some reason were not declared, but, in our opinion, were of interest to the entire musical community. An important task of the award is to find talents that we really want to support, and to open up new facets of opera art for viewers, and new perspectives for nominees and laureates.”

At the gala ceremony of the IX National Opera Prize “Onegin” Khibla Gerzmava, Maria Lupareva, Alexey Tatarintsev, Yulia Matochkina performed arias and duets from Russian and European operas. Some of the works on the program were real musical rarities that delighted the professionals and connoisseurs of opera art gathered in the hall. The hosts of the evening were traditionally Sati Spivakova and Yulian Makarov.

The guest of honor of the ceremony was Ambrogio Maestri , the great Italian baritone and the most famous Falstaff in the world. He immediately captivated the audience with his performance of the aria of the doctor Dulcamara from the opera “The Elixir of Love” by Gaetano Donizetti. The ovation did not subside for several minutes. Ambrogio Maestri and another guest from Italy – pianist, conductor and famous vocal coach Carmen Santoro – received bronze “Onegins” in the non-competition nomination “From Russia with Love”.

“Italians and Russians have a lot in common ,” the charming Ambrogio Maestri told journalists, ” a love of beauty, music, and literature. I am very flattered to participate in this opera award, which is taking place on the stage of a magnificent historical theater. I am very happy to come to St. Petersburg and take part in the opera. I would also take part in the ballet, but for some reason they don’t offer it,” joked Ambrogio, known not only for his incredibly strong voice, but also for his monumental figure.

The ceremony was opened by the address of the Minister of Culture of Russia Olga Lyubimova : “Over the years of its history, the award has become an important event in the cultural life of our country. It demonstrates the high level of performers and the creative potential of theaters, as well as the continuity of traditions passed down from recognized directors and singers to aspiring artists. The wide geography of the participants emphasizes the significance of the award. Each theater presents its unique vision of classical and modern works.”
