We would be delighted if you would add the Innsbruck Festwochen der Alten Musik to your list at this point.
Every single recommendation helps to raise the international profile of the Festwochen and recognise the work of our team.
We believe that no one else but Ottavio Dantone should be written at this point. With his artistic vision, he has shaped the Festwochen since 2023 and inspires musicians and audiences alike.
We would appreciate to see the mention of ‘Ifigenia in Aulide’ – naturally with reference to the Innsbruck Festwochen der Alten Musik. This opera, which has never been performed in modern times, was one of the highlights of our 2025 Festival Summer and testifies to the vitality of Baroque rediscoveries.
You do not need to fill in all the fields on the nomination page – three entries are sufficient. At the end, you will be asked to provide your contact details so that the nominations can be submitted validly.
And here's another tip: the page offers many more fields – feel free to use them to enter your personal favourites. Perhaps a singer you saw on stage during the 2024 or 2025 Festwochen? Every single vote makes the colourful diversity of the opera world more visible.
We look forward to your support!
