La Monnaie reserved the fifth performance of The Time of Our Singing exclusively for 200 people enrolled on our social programme ‘A bridge between two worlds’, and approximately 300 secondary-school pupils.
La Monnaie has been organizing Building Bridges performances since 2015 in a bid to give its young and more vulnerable audiences a taste of opera at a much-reduced price or even completely free of charge. This initiative is targeted specifically at those who would like to attend an opera, but do not always have the opportunity or the means to do so.
On this occasion, we welcomed 341 pupils, or 13 classes from 8 different secondary schools, and 231 vulnerable people from various centres and organizations participating in our ‘A bridge between two worlds’ social programme, e.g. Public Centres for Social Welfare (CPASs), assisted-living centres, centres for literacy, mental health services, etc.
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.
This summer, for the Barcelona premiere of the opera Bovary, the La Monnaie Chorus will perform on the stage of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.
