Awards

Each year since 1994, at the end of the season, the magazine sponsors a jury of 50 critics to select the best in several categories:

They are usually selected from German-speaking countries, Austria, Germany and German-speaking Switzerland. In 2011, La Monnaie received the accolade, the first time it has been given to a non-German speaking house.[3]
