Dust off your 2020 cultural agenda. Starting in September, after a silence that has lasted way too long, there will once again be music ringing through La Monnaie! Discover our adapted programme extending through the end of November here.
Once upon Now. So, in the middle of March, we launched the 2020-21 season. It was going to be a cultural year, with our feet planted firmly in the reality of today. But since then, that reality has been thoroughly uprooted. The ‘new normal’ is a fact, but fortunately it is a ‘normal’ in which we once again may, can and will play!
Of course, this does not take away from the fact that our sector and our house have been confronted with enormous challenges in recent months: visitor limitations, travel restrictions for artists, the tightening of safety measures, etc. All this means that not only your visit to La Monnaie will look somewhat different this autumn (read the answers to all your practical questions here), but we have also been forced to make a few adjustments to our programming.
Please explore our complete programme through the end of November below. As from today you can also reserve tickets for these shows. For some productions, you can do this via the usual ticket sale, but for most of the shows we are currently using a waiting-list system. Put your name on the waiting list for a specific production, and we will contact you as soon as tickets become available. Subscribers, MM Friends, members of MM Maecenas and MM Patrons need only specify and confirm their membership on the waiting list to take advantage of their priority status.
We will update subscribers about their seats as soon as possible.
On 29 September 2025, the façade of La Monnaie will turn red for World Heart Day. With this symbolic gesture, our opera house joins a global movement raising awareness about cardiovascular diseases.
Want to watch an opera from your living room? Now you can, thanks to VRT MAX! La Monnaie and Opera Ballet Vlaanderen are each offering three operas to watch for free for six months, with classics by Mozart and Verdi, and Kris Defoort’s The Time of Our Singing.
La Monnaie has received two nominations at the prestigious 2025 International Opera Awards, honoring the most impressive artistic performances and most innovative projects of the past opera season. Music Director Alain Altinoglu is in the running in the category ‘Best Conductor’, Eugene Onegin may be crowned ‘Best Recording’.
