Dust off your 2020 cultural agenda. Starting in September, after a silence that has lasted way too long, there will once again be music ringing through La Monnaie! Discover our adapted programme extending through the end of November here.
Once upon Now. So, in the middle of March, we launched the 2020-21 season. It was going to be a cultural year, with our feet planted firmly in the reality of today. But since then, that reality has been thoroughly uprooted. The ‘new normal’ is a fact, but fortunately it is a ‘normal’ in which we once again may, can and will play!
Of course, this does not take away from the fact that our sector and our house have been confronted with enormous challenges in recent months: visitor limitations, travel restrictions for artists, the tightening of safety measures, etc. All this means that not only your visit to La Monnaie will look somewhat different this autumn (read the answers to all your practical questions here), but we have also been forced to make a few adjustments to our programming.
Please explore our complete programme through the end of November below. As from today you can also reserve tickets for these shows. For some productions, you can do this via the usual ticket sale, but for most of the shows we are currently using a waiting-list system. Put your name on the waiting list for a specific production, and we will contact you as soon as tickets become available. Subscribers, MM Friends, members of MM Maecenas and MM Patrons need only specify and confirm their membership on the waiting list to take advantage of their priority status.
We will update subscribers about their seats as soon as possible.
Meet Holland’s next opera star! On Sunday evening, October 20, MM Soloist Leander Carlier won ARIA, a singing competition on the Dutch TV channel NPO1. In addition to a trophy, he also secured a place at the Dutch National Opera Studio (Amsterdam).
Get out the napkins because La Monnaie is participating in The Biggest Spaghetti Fest in the World! On Saturday, November 23, at 12:30 p.m., we are offering 75 vegetarian meals, accompanied by a visit to our Workshops, in support of non-profit organisation Accolage.
Carpooling to La Monnaie with other opera lovers? Besides being more sustainable, it’s nicer and cheaper than going alone! La Monnaie is the first cultural venue in Belgium to join forces with Slinger, a simple tool which allows you to arrange a ride with another spectator from your area in just a few clicks.
