Opernwelt (Opera World) is a monthly German magazine for opera, operetta and ballet.
The magazine covers news about current performances; it presents portraits of composers and performers, articles about opera houses and performance spaces, and about contemporary and historical subjects from the world of opera and classical music. It reviews recordings and books and publishes monthly schedules of German and international opera houses. The magazine's website offers full text search for past issues. A year book is published every October.
Opera house of the year award
Each year since 1994, at the end of the season, the magazine sponsors a jury of 50 critics to select an opera house in Austria, Germany or German speaking Switzerland as the Opera House of the Year (German: Opernhaus des Jahres) award. In 2011 La Monnaie received the accolade, the first time it has been given to a non-German speaking house.[2]
