The International Opera Awards are a prestigious competition for opera singers. At once, 2 Ukrainian teams were able to acquire the title Opera Company of the year 2022. Theatre from Odesa and the National opera house of Lviv received the highest scores from colleagues worldwide.
It is noted that for 10 years of the history of the competition, this is the first time that 2 theatres received the award. The big event is that 2 Ukrainian theatres became the winners.
"Our theatres not only continue to operate from the first months of the full-scale invasion, despite the constant shelling and lack of electricity but have also released world premieres of Ukrainian operas: Kateryna, Terrible revenge. This title is a symbol of the indestructibility, resilience, and strength of spirit of Ukrainian artists," said the Ministry of culture and information policy of Ukraine.
Ukrainians are talented people, and no harm can stop them. Moreover, creative people cannot remain silent and idle in times of war — they must draw attention to the country and their creativity to tell about what is happening.
We remind you that the legendary Christmas Carol of the Bells of the Ukrainian author turned 100 this year.
