Music Theatre Now (MTNow) is the premier competition for first productions of new works, which have been professionally created anywhere in the world. Since 2008 more than 1500 world premieres of new opera and music theatre have entered our competition to take part in our unique convention that brings together practitioners and presenters from across the globe. Former winners have staged their works at various festivals around the globe, such as O.Festival (Rotterdam), Prototype Festival (New York) or Shanghai International Contemporary Theatre Festival ACT. MTNow has been a launchpad for several successful international careers.
A jury of four internationally acclaimed music theatre professionals selects at least 6 outstanding productions.
