To mark Pride Week, La Monnaie decorates its façade in rainbow colours, to show its unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
For several years now, the month of May has been an opportunity to celebrate tolerance in all its forms in Brussels, notably through the Pride. Unfortunately, the urgency of the message is still high. All over the world, people still suffer violence, exclusion and discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
In the run-up to the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, La Monnaie is showing its support for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and organisations that defend their rights. In doing so, they bring about a more open society and La Monnaie wants to contribute to this transformation, convinced that culture and education have an essential role to play in it.
On December 14th at 3 p.m., two singers from the MM Academy and the Cassandra Choir will take part in the annual charity Christmas concert organised by the be.Source Foundation at the Sablon.
Last night, the International Opera Awards were held at the Greek National Opera. Music director Alain Altinoglu won the award for Best Conductor.
Get out the napkins because La Monnaie is participating in The Biggest Spaghetti Fest in the World! On Saturday, November 22, we are offering 100 vegetarian meals, accompanied by a guided tour of our Workshops, in support of non-profit organisation Groot Eiland.
