Girl of the Golden Met Awards 2023: WINNERS!

Congratulations to all the winners for triumphing in these highly competitive categories and to all the nominees for their extraordinary performances! Thank you to everyone that voted; I hope you enjoyed it!

Best Opera

Dialogues des Carmélites (Marty Sohl/Met Opera)

Poulenc's devastating tale of a convent of nuns martyred in the last days of the Reign of Terror starred Ailyn Pérez, Christine Goerke, Sabine Devieilhe, Alice Coote, and Jamie Barton — arguably the 2022-23 season's most stupendous cast (and there have been many). 

Best Soprano Performance

Sondra Radvanovsky in Medea (Marty Sohl/Met Opera)

Sondra's thrilling, terrifying performance in the title role of Medea personified the saying “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned", and many considered it her finest at the Met yet. Judge for yourselves: her Medea was uploaded to Met Opera on Demand just yesterday. 

Best Tenor Performance

Piotr Beczała in Fedora (Ken Howard/Met Opera)

Piotr imbued his riveting performance as Loris Ipanov in Fedora with “his usual stylish ardor,” (NYTimes) and after attending, I wrote that “his earnest, passionate singing blew me away". You can watch his performance now on Met Opera on Demand.

Best Mezzo-Soprano/Contralto Performance

Samantha Hankey in Der Rosenkavalier (Ken Howard/Met Opera)

Quinn Kelsey in Rigoletto (Curtis Brown/Met Opera)
