On Friday, February 21, 2025, the annual Oper! Awards took place in Brussels, where Parnassus Arts Productions exclusive artist, Maayan Licht (sopranist), was named Best Young Singer of 2025. The jury chairman, Manuel Brug, stated in his speech at the Theatre La Monnaie that the award was granted due to Maayan’s sensational performance at the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival as Achilles in the new production of Iphigenia in Aulis (directed by Max Emanuel Cencic; musical direction by Christophe Rousset). A great success for Maayan Licht, to whom we extend our heartfelt congratulations!
