The BBC Music Magazine announced their 2011 Award-winners at a ceremony on Tuesday 12th April hosted by its Editor Oliver Condy and Radio 4’s Today presenter James Naughtie.

The awards are the only classical music awards in which the main categories are voted for by the public. The magazine’s website received more than 43,000 votes to select the winners in six categories: Orchestral, Choral, Opera, Vocal, Chamber and Instrumental, while an expert jury selected winners in the remaining categories including DVD, and Newcomer of the Year.

Opus Arte was delighted to receive the award for DVD of the Year for the outstanding Jonathan Kent production of Purcell’s The Fairy Queen from Glyndebourne.
