Mortier Next Generation Fellowship

In memory of Gerard Mortier, the innovative opera director who died in 2014, a European promotion prize for young talents was created. It will be awarded to young talents that engage in musical theater as a modern art form, for example in the areas of directing, music, stage set design, or technology. Mortier himself spoke with such enthusiasm about his time as a Fellow at the Wissenschafts­kolleg that it seems only logical to offer the prizewinners of the Mortier Next Generation Award a similar expe­rience with a short-term fellowship.
