Think your work is redefining opera or music theatre? Prove it. The Music Theatre NOW Awards 2025 — the world’s leading platform for new and groundbreaking music theatre — are now open for submissions.

We’re searching for productions that premiered between 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2025. Whether you’re an independent artist, a collective, a festival, or a production house — if you're challenging the limits of sound and stage, we want to see it.

Submissions will be evaluated by an international jury of five leading voices in the field.

Winners will be invited to take part in the O. Festival Professionals Programme in Rotterdam, May 2026, connecting with top international curators, programmers, and producers.
