The Onegin National Opera Award was conceived for the sake of ambitious goals - to popularize Russian opera art, to define guidelines for the development of modern Russian opera theatre, as well as to identify the most interesting collectives and performers of Russian opera.
The main goal of the Onegin National Opera Award is to unite the Russian opera community. Based on the statements and wishes of representatives of the professional community, the organizing committee decided to supplement the award with events that create a platform for communication between professionals - singers, critics, conductors, directors and producers.
The idea of establishing the Onegin National Opera Award belongs to the General Director of the Award, Honored Artist of Russia Igor Tarasov, and the co-founder of the Russian Opera Company producer Lyubov Glazkova. The legendary baritone, world opera star, People's Artist of Russia, laureate of the USSR State Prize Sergei Leiferkus became the President of the Onegin National Opera Award.
The ceremony itself will take place on the stage of the Mikhailovsky Theater and, by tradition, will be held within the framework of the St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum. Best young voices of Russia, also known all over the world will participate in the frameworks of the Cultural Forum. The hosts of the evening are Sati Spivakova and the President of the Onegin Prize himself, People's Artist of Russia Sergei Leiferkus. Soprano Venera Gimadieva (Bolshoi Theater of Russia), tenors Bogdan Volkov (Bolshoi Theater of Russia) and Anton Rositsky (Moscow Musical Theater named after K. Stanislavsky and V. Nemirovich-Danchenko), Honored Artist of the Russian Federation bass Dmitry Ulyanov (Moscow Musical Theater named after K. Stanislavsky and V.
