Bass-baritone Le Bu learnt of his award during a ceremony at the Metropolitan Opera on 28 October 2022. HZF chair Prof. Maria Venuti, board member Prof. Christiane Libor and Le’s teacher, the legendary James Morris, were on hand to share his delight.

Liangliang Zhao, Bass (28) and HZF scholarship holder 2021/2022, has been invited out of 750 applicants to audition on the stage of the Vienna State Opera on 15 Dec. (Hilde Zadek’s birthday). Congratulations, Liangliang, and best of luck!

Congratulations to Anna Nekhames, the first scholarship holder of the new era! Her scholarship is for the Opera Studio of the Vienna State Opera.

The moment has arrived: the new homepage of the Hildegard Zadek Foundation is now online. We hope that our new internet presence will be a source of inspiration and foster involvement with the Foundation.
