In July 2003, after the first-ever season of Genesis-commissioned operas, John Studzinski, Chairman of the Genesis Opera Project, announced the outcome of the first Genesis Opera Project. The panel decided to apportion a £20,000 prize across the three creative teams in recognition of the different but very real achievements of their strong, diverse talents and approaches.
The Genesis panel awarded £10,000 to Jurgen Simpson (Composer) and Simon Doyle (Writer) from Ireland in acknowledgement of their originality and accomplishment with their first operatic work, Thwaite.
A further £10,000 was split equally between the teams of Paul Frehner (Composer) and Angela Murphy (Writer) from Canada for their first opera Sirius on Earth, a satiric futuristic fantasy; and Jonathan Mills (Composer) and Dorothy Porter (Writer) for their poetic second work for the stage, The Eternity Man, based on the spiritual journey in Sydney of real-life reformed alcoholic and religious visionary, Arthur Stace.
