In September and October, La Monnaie opens its doors for these two prestigious events, which showcase the heritage of Brussels in the firm belief that it’s essential to understand the city’s past in order to shape its future.
For this 36th edition of the Heritage Days, with as a central theme ‘New heritage - Brussels architecture from 1970 to 2000’, La Monnaie will welcome you on September 14th (10 am - 6 pm), for a series of free adapted guided tours of the Theatre.
Our house will also be taking part in the Brussels Neoclassic Biennale, which will highlight the capital’s neoclassical architectural heritage, by offering three days of guided tours: on September 30th (tours for people who learn Dutch and French as a foreign language and for audience members with disabilities), on October 5th (all audiences) and on October 6th (all audiences, with special care for people who are visually and hearing impaired).
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.
