On October 25th, we celebrate the third edition of World Opera Day. One of this year’s themes is ecological opera-making. That is why we are presenting the Green Opera project of La Monnaie today.
The third edition of World Opera Day, celebrated on 25 October, will take place in a challenging context as theatres around the world resume activity. Former production models have been challenged, and many have invested thought and time in re-inventing themselves to embody their roles as responsible actors of society. This year’s theme of 'Opera Reboot' translates into 3 main strands: equal opportunities and diversity, employment for young people and the discovery of new talent, and ecologically responsible productions. The perfect opportunity for La Monnaie to present its Green Opera project, driven by our commitment to make opera more sustainable.
In collaboration with BRIK, the central point of contact for students in Brussels, La Monnaie welcomes 120 youngsters to revise in its Entrance hall and MM Bar.
On 29 July and 1 August 2026, the world’s most prestigious opera festival will welcome the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director Alain Altinoglu for two concert performances of Massenet’s Werther.
La Monnaie Chorus Master Emmanuel Trenque has been awarded the Médaille du Rayonnement Culturel by La Renaissance Française.
