100 volunteering extras for Das Rheingold

100 volunteering extras
Rehearsals from 30.09 to 22.10 2023
Performances from 24.10 to 09.11 2023

You are between 16 and 80 years old? You feel like being part of an opera performance like few others?

Then join a team of 100 volunteers for a figuration in our new production of Richard Wagner's Das Rheingold, directed by Romeo Castellucci.

The figuration will require a physical effort of the selected candidates: you will have to roll and crawl on stage, and you should feel comfortable in a relatively narrow space close to other people. La Monnaie will provide you with skin-coloured underwear to give the illusion of a naked body.

Candidates must be available for eleven rehearsals and eight performances, mainly on weekends or evenings during the week.

Rehearsals:

  • Saturday 30.09.2023 (10am - 6pm)
  • Sunday 01.10.2023 (10am - 6pm)
