Two Canadian projects scooped first prizes at Opera America’s Digital Excellence in Opera awards earlier this week.  Sweat from Jenn Nichols, Larissa Koniuk and the Bicycle Opera gang won the big one; “Artistic Creation”.  What can I say?  I loved the stage show and I loved the film.  Well deserved.

The other winner was the very cute kids’ series Threepenny Submarine from Rachel Krehm and Opera5. This was joint winner in the “Noteworthy Projects” category.

So two out of four of the top prizes went to Canadian projects.  Not bad eh?
