On February 4th La Monnaie is launching a new series of podcasts called Résonances (in French) / Weerklanken (in Dutch). Fascinating audio stories that introduce and provide a framework for our productions and make interesting listening even without a ticket for a performance.
In this new podcast series, La Monnaie goes in search of the stories of its operas in the world around us. Each episode consists of an in-depth interview recorded in a noteworthy location in Brussels. And of course – how could it be otherwise? – time is also allowed for music.
The first episode explores Mozart’s Der Schauspieldirektor. A double conversation with two theatre directors from an empty KVS about the malaise of Corona, the need for an audience and what a good ‘Schauspieldirektor’ should do.
The first episode of Résonances / Weerklanken is now available on MMM Online and of course also on your favourite podcast app. Subscribe to our channel now and you won’t miss a single episode:
From 3 June to 22 September, La Monnaie and Muntpunt are transforming Rue Royale—the small street between their buildings—into a vibrant summer spot. A long table will serve as a welcoming meeting place where locals and passers-by can read, have lunch, play board games, or simply soak up the sun.
To mark Pride Week, La Monnaie decorates its façade in rainbow colours, to show its unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
A real feast for the eyes and ears in 2023, La Monnaie’s production of Tchaikovsky’s most intimate and celebrated opera, directed by Laurent Pelly and conducted by Alain Altinoglu, is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming via Naxos.
