El Dibany received the Hassan Kamy Award from the Manial Palace Festival in November 2019.
She was the first ever to receive this award.
She took it after giving a recital with Egyptian pianist Seif Mohie at the festival.
"Truly honored to be the first ever to receive the Hassan Kamy award after giving a recital with Egyptian pianist Seif Mohie at the Manial Palace Festival, and even happier to have been handed the award by Prince Abbas Helmy and internationally acclaimed Egyptian pianist Ramzi Yassa.
"Thanks to the Festival for putting this great festival together," Dibany previously wrote on her official Instagram account.
Dibany is the first Egyptian to win the Prix Lyrique de l'AROP, the best opera singer award from the Paris Opera House, according to Opera de Paris.
This important annual international award is dedicated to uprising opera singers and is granted to one female and one male soprano. She sang a song from 'Carmen' by Bizet at the awards ceremony in the presence of Egyptian and French officials.
Dibany joined the Paris Opera House in 2016. She is the first Egyptian resident of the Paris Opera House.
In 2017, Dibany performed alongside Opera singer Jean-Francois Marras in a concert to celebrate a partnership between the National Paris Opera House and Huawei.
She went to different classical institutions to represent the venue, including the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, the Biennale dell'Arte at the French Pavilion in Venice, the Cairo Opera House, and the Alexandria Opera House. Also, she was awarded the Wagner Prize for excellence in opera.
On her official Facebook page, Dibany said she feels honored to appear in a trailer that celebrates her partnership with the National Paris Opera House. The trailer was directed by a team led by Audrey Mascina.
Her mezzo-soprano performance in "Carmen" in 2015 got her the 'Best Upcoming Young Opera Singer' title, based on a survey generated by the 'Opernwelt' magazine yearbook.

According to the Egyptian foreign ministry, Abdelatty held separate phone calls with Jordanian FM Ayman Safadi, Saudi FM Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, and Bahraini FM Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani. The phone discussions touched on the rapid regional developments, particularly the Israel-Iran military escalation and the grave threat and serious repercussions it poses to regional peace and security. During the calls, the Egyptian FM affirmed that political and diplomatic solutions are the only way to avoid expanding the conflict in ways that threaten regional peace and security. Abdelatty and Safadi emphasized the importance of de-escalation, restraint, and prioritising dialogue, warning of the danger of the region slipping into more chaos and tensions. The Egyptian, Saudi, and Bahraini ministers also stressed the need to prioritise political and diplomatic solutions as the only way out of the current crisis and to preserve regional security and stability. The Arab top diplomats further reaffirmed the need to respect state sovereignty, international law, and the principles of the United Nations Charter. Earlier Sunday, the US launched airstrikes targeting three major Iranian nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and the Isfahan complex, a move which many observers viewed as supporting Israel's ongoing war against Iran, which began on 13 June.
