This season, La Monnaie takes over the airwaves at Kiosk Radio with curated playlists that reflect our opera programme.
Kiosk Radio is an online community radio that broadcasts a variety of music from the wooden kiosk in the Parc Royal in the heart of Brussels.
To usher in this new collaboration, La Monnaie will curate two-hour playlists with works that reflect the opera currently on show. For this first playlist, called 'Chance Music', all numbers contain an element of coincidence, unpredictability and choice, in line with the theme of gambling and game of chance at the core of Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades.

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.
