What are the Dora Awards?

The Dora Mavor Moore Awards honour the creators of over 200 theatre, dance and opera productions annually in five major categories:

  • General Theatre

  • Dance
  • Opera
  • Theatre for Young Audiences

Each winner receives a bronze statue cast from an original by sculptor John Romano.

The Doras are named for Dora Mavor Moore, a well-loved teacher and director who helped establish Canadian professional theatre in the 1930s and 1940s.
