Founded by Consul Prof. Karl-Michael Ebner in 2012, the Austrian Music Theater Prize recognizes notable achievements across Austria’s opera, theater, musical theater, and ballet scene. Each year, productions and artists from the previous season are considered by a jury of media professionals, with additional nominations allowing the awards to reflect the breadth of Austria's performing arts landscape. 

The 14th annual awards ceremony took place on September 8, 2026, at Vienna’s Votive Church.
