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.

- Saturday 30.09.2023 (10am - 6pm)
