Prix de l'Arop season 2022/2023

The Arop 2022/2023 award winners are Inès McIntosh, Clara Mousseigne equally ranked and Antonio Conforti for the ballet Prize and Margarita Polonskaya and Thomas Ricart for the opera Prize.

For the 2022/2023 season, the members decided to award the ballet prizes to Inès McIntosh, sujet during the 22/23 season (and nominated "Première danseuse" during the 23/24 season), for her performance in Le Lac des cygnes (Rudolf Noureev), Clara Mousseigne, sujet, for her performance in Giselle (Jean Coralli, Jules Perrot) and to Antonio Conforti, sujet, for his performance in Mayerling (Kenneth MacMillan).

The opera prizes go to soprano Margarita Polonskaya and tenor Thomas Ricart, who are both in residence at the Paris Opera Academy. They were distinguished for their performances during concerts of the Academy. Margarita Polonskaya has performed the role of Giulia in La Scala di seta, directed by Pascal Neyron at the Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet and the role of the First Lady in The Magic Flute, directed by Robert Carsen at the Opéra Bastille. She will join the Opera Troupe of the Paris Opera in September 2024. Thomas Ricart has performed the role of Dormont in La Scala di seta, at the Athénée Théâtre Louis-Jouvet and the role of Benvolio in Roméo et Juliette, directed by Thomas Jolly at the Opéra Bastille.

Since 1986, AROP awards each season both a young female and a young male dancer from the Corps de Ballet of the Paris Opera Ballet who performed important variations of the repertoire on stage. The ballet prizes are backed for ten years by the generous support of Mrs Jeannine Auber, who wished to encourage new generations of dancers from the Paris Opera Ballet and to pass on her passion for dance, thanks to the legacy she left to AROP.

Since 1998, AROP awards the opera prizes to both a female singer and a male singer from the Paris Opera Academy, based on their performances and concerts during the past season.

AROP – The Friends of the Paris National Opera, supports the Paris Opera projects and promotes emerging artists of the Paris Opera.
