Richard Novák to be awarded 2016 Antonín Dvořak prize

The winner of this year’s Antonín Dvořak prize has been announced as Richard Novák. The opera singer, who will be 75 next month, has long been associated with the Brno Opera House. Novák will be given the award later this month by the Minister of Culture. The prize is awarded to those who have contributed to propagating Czech classical music at home and abroad. In 2001, Novák was awarded the Thálie prize for his lifetime contribution to culture.
