Special award: Charles Court Opera

For championing operatic innovation and consistent excellence

Led by Artistic Director & CEO John Savournin and Musical Director David Eaton, Charles Court Opera have a glorious reputation for championing innovative and high-quality small-scale opera in intimate fringe spaces, reimagining classic pieces and encouraging a wider audience to engage with them.

They excel at reinvigorating traditional works, translating from Italian into English, or embracing Gilbert & Sullivan in modern settings, and their work is consistently excellent across all areas of production and performance. Additional outreach work has made opera accessible to young people, inviting further new audiences to enjoy the artform.

Theirs is an exceptional, ongoing contribution that significantly raises the standard of fringe opera.
