18 • THE HARMONY OF HUMAN PASSIONS

Looking back on two transformative decades at La Monnaie

For eighteen years, Peter de Caluwe stood at the helm of the Royal Theatre of La Monnaie. Eighteen years in which the opera world witnessed technical innovations, global crises and new audience demographics. Throughout all these evolutions, he upheld a clear programmatic vision and, together with a close artistic family, defended a forward-thinking approach to theatre, based on a solid dramaturgical foundation. Drawing on interviews with key protagonists and a curated selection of production and backstage pictures, this monograph by Jasper Croonen looks back on two decisive decades of La Monnaie history.
