On October 25th, we celebrate the third edition of World Opera Day. One of this year’s themes is ecological opera-making. That is why we are presenting the Green Opera project of La Monnaie today.
The third edition of World Opera Day, celebrated on 25 October, will take place in a challenging context as theatres around the world resume activity. Former production models have been challenged, and many have invested thought and time in re-inventing themselves to embody their roles as responsible actors of society. This year’s theme of 'Opera Reboot' translates into 3 main strands: equal opportunities and diversity, employment for young people and the discovery of new talent, and ecologically responsible productions. The perfect opportunity for La Monnaie to present its Green Opera project, driven by our commitment to make opera more sustainable.
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.
