The Carmen Mateu Young Artist European Award, Opera and Dance, offered by the Castell de Peralada Private Foundation, aims to perpetuate the memory of Carmen Mateu by recognising the career of young artists in the disciplines of opera and dance to contribute to the development of their career and to the promotion and prestige of these disciplines throughout Europe. This edition is aimed at the category of Dance, specifically at the discipline of Classical and Neo-Classical Dancer.
Based on the Peralada Festival project, started by Carmen Mateu thirty-three years ago, and in the same spirit, the Carmen Mateu Young Artist European Award, Opera and Dance, has been created with the aim of being a cultural leader and benchmark in support for creation in these fields.
Plácido Domingo has accepted the invitation of the Castell de Peralada Foundation to represent this award as its Honorary President.
