“For me, to be in Lausanne is every year a big joy, this competition is a great opportunity not only for the students, but also for teachers and directors from all over the world to meet, exchange opinions and enjoy all these new beautiful talents. When Kathryn Bradney asked me to come back again to the Prix as a teacher I felt honoured and delighted to be part of the Artistic team.”
