Henceforth Raphaële Green may call herself an MM Laureate. General director Peter de Caluwe handed her the diploma after the Concertino of Friday 10th November 2017.
Green will keep the title of MM Laureate for life and enjoys La Monnaie’s support for the following one to three years, which will help her in launching her career. She follows in the footsteps of the tenor Pierre Derhet, who received the title last year.
Raphaële Green is far from a stranger to the public of La Monnaie. She entered the Choral Academy during her studies, became an MM Soloist and sang in various opera productions (L’Elisir d’amore, Aida, La Vestale, Macbeth) and concerts. The MM Laureate degree is a reward and a recognition for all her accomplishments at La Monnaie.
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.
