Friends of the Mortier Awards

Minimum annual contribution: €200 for individuals, 

€300 for couples

Because you want the ideas, visions, and philosophy of the great theatre innovator Gerard Mortier to live on.

Because you want personalities whose artistic work continues Mortier's legacy to be publicly honored for their life's work—with the Mortier Award (Lifetime Achievement).

Because you want young artists who promise to carry on Mortier's ideas, visions, and philosophy to be able to develop an innovative (music theatre) project through the Mortier Next Generation Award, which is endowed with €30,000, and are willing to contribute to its financing.

Because you want unusual, high-quality music theater art on a European and international scale to remain a vital factor in cultural identity.

Because you want to participate exclusively in special events throughout Europe.
