The Talía Awards are the highest honor awarding excellence in the Performing Arts in Spanish presented by the Academy of Performing Arts of Spain (AAEE).

This year, within the 34 categories of the Talía Awards, one category will award Latino and Hispanic productions in New York: “Award for the Best Contemporary Hispanic Performing Arts Production in New York”

The Queen Sofía Spanish Institute leads this inaugural Selection Committee comprised of journalists, professors, and practitioners within the field of the performing arts who provide their unique and astute perspectives in determining a winner.

The Committee is supported by three honorary members who strongly support Hispanic theatre in New York City: the Consulate General of New York, Instituto Cervantes New York, and the Queen Sofía Spanish Institute.

This award, in addition to giving visibility to current Hispanic productions, will help foster the interest in developing future Hispanic productions in New York.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the nominees in the coming weeks.
