This Thursday 20 January, as part of their 'Viva l'Opéra' programme, three UGC cinemas in Belgium will screen our latest production of Leoš Janáček's masterpiece Jenůfa.
In 2014, La Monnaie presented a new staging of Janáček's Jenůfa by director Alvis Hermanis, and with Sally Matthews, Charles Workman, Nicky Spence, Jeanne-Michèle Charbonnet and Carole Wilson in the main roles. This exceptional cast, the beautiful scenography and the lifelike portrayal of a cruel family tragedy received much praise from the press and the public at the time. On Thursday 20 January, this successful production will be shown again at the UGC cinemas in Brussels (De Brouckère), Antwerp and Mechelen, as part of their 'Viva l'Opéra' programme.
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.
