Which productions, artists, recordings and special projects coloured the past opera season for you? Draw your list of favourites and reward them with a nomination for the International Opera Awards 2024!
Did our new production of Das Rheingold or our Verdi creation Rivoluzione e Nostalgia knock you over this season? Is Music Director Alain Altinoglu your Conductor of the Year? And does La Monnaie deserve the title of Best Opera House? Then support us by submitting your nominations for the International Opera Awards!
These prestigious awards, the 'Oscars' of the opera world, reward the best and most innovative performances of the past season on international stages. In the passed two editions, La Monnaie / De Munt was proud to win the Award for Best New Production, with The Tale of Tsar Saltan and From the House of the Dead, for Best World Premiere with The Time of Our Singing, and last year for 'Equal Opportunities & Impact' with our social programme A bridge between two worlds.
Voting for this edition is open until 31 July.
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.
