Ten personalities in support of our opera house.
What do Edouard Vermeulen, Enea Scala, Hadja Lahbib and Gisèle Croës have in common? And what is their link with Portland, Stéphane Degout, Sally Matthews and Arne Quinze? Together with Max Jadot and Charles Peugeot, they are part of the MM AMBASSADORS project. A new initiative by La Monnaie that introduces artists, CEOs, singers and other prominent personalities who not only value the role of culture in our society, but who also actively defend it. They are people who appreciate La Monnaie's project and support it with the clout and kudos they have within their sector. We are proud to present these Ambassadors to the general public and, together with them, we are committed to giving culture even greater weight in the public debate. Because it is needed more than ever.
This year, Mobility Week coincides with the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the Brussels metro network. La Monnaie, which promotes sustainable mobility, has joined in the STIB’s celebrations by organising a pop-up fashion show at De Brouckère station on 15 September.
Next year, the non-profit association 'Mortier Awards' will present the Mortier Next Generation Award, for the fifth time. This prize, worth € 30,000, supports artistic projects of young artists in keeping with the spirit of Gerard Mortier, former La Monnaie director and great innovator of the art form opera.
