PREMIO INTERNAZIONALE
ARCA D’ORO ITALIA
SAPERE AUDE 2021

It is awarded to the famous British stage director, set, costume and video designer JOHN PASCOE.
In his 40 year international career, his work has restored the lustre and prestige of Italian opera in the major houses of the world where his stylish productions have always been applauded for their beauty and intelligence as well as for their absolute fidelity to the text as viewed through current sensibilities. These aspects combined with his passion for opera itself, led to multiple productions created at the request of: Dame Joan Sutherland, Placido Domingo, Renée Fleming, Vittorio Grigolo, Maestro Alan Curtis and the composer Giancarlo Menotti. Today, his invention of “Motion Video Scenery” used first for Vittorio Grigolo in “ITALIA UN SOGNO” is part of his drive to bring opera to a wider and younger audience.

Thanks to the collaboration with the University of Turin, the Accademia della Voce del Piemonte has established the Premio Internazionale Arca d’Oro since 1991.
The Award is divided into two categories: the Premio Internazionale Arca d’Oro Italia Sapere Aude, attributed to a personality who has particularly distinguished herself in the cultural field, and the Premio Arca d’Oro Giovani Talenti intended for singers and instruments.
The two awards are awarded each year during a ceremony and a concert tribute to the awarded personality.
The gold medal list includes Yuri Ahronovitch, Claudio Abbado, Mirella Fremi, Alfredo Kraus, Carla Fracci, Bruno Bartoletti, Paolo Conte, Zubin Mehta, Luca Ronconi, Pierluigi Pizzi, Bruno Casoni, Gianandrea Noseda, Riccardo Chailly, Maurizio Scaparro, Sonia Franzese, Renata Scotto, Mariella Devia.
The award of the Arca d’Oro is accompanied in some cases by the award of the Honoris Causa degree by the University of Turin. This is the case of the sculptor Christo, the conductor Riccardo Muti who conducted the concert at the University headquarters, and the astronaut Paolo Nespoli.
