The winner of the 10th Cesti competition at Innsbruck’s Early Music Festival was Grace Durham, 27,  until recently a member of the junior ensemble at Dresden’s Semper Oper. The prize is worth 4,000 Euros. She sang arias by Hasse and Melani.

Ms Durham is the daughter of the much-loved TV comedienne Victoria Wood, who died in April 2016.
