On May 7, Collectif 17h25 launched an innovative standard module for set construction: MOD 200. With the prototype phase now completed, the participating partners, including La Monnaie, are starting the production of these structures, and will implement them in set construction as of the 2024-25 season.
Collectif 17h25 is an alliance between five cultural institutions: Opéra de Lyon, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Opéra national de Paris, Théâtre du Châtelet, and La Monnaie. Sharing the ambition to make the creation of their productions more sustainable, the technical departments of these partners have been researching the standardization of structural set components (invisible to the audience) and support systems for scenographic elements (visible to the audience) for the past two years.
The ultimate goal is to establish a ‘library’ of standard structures that are compatible with the specific requirements of as many theaters as possible. In this way, Collectif 17h25 aims to reduce waste in set creation, improve storage efficiency, and limit transportation volume.
The realization of MOD 200 marks an important step in this process. The standard module, consisting of steel tube structures with exceptional technical compatibility and simple montage options, is now going into the production phase at the five cultural institutions. Starting from the 2024-25 season, the module will actually be used, also at La Monnaie, with Fanny and Alexander as the first test case.
This autumn, La Monnaie and the Foundation against Cancer are joining forces for two benefit concerts. By purchasing a ticket for Memories (Christoph Prégardien) or Invitation au voyage (Véronique Gens) in our Main Hall, you directly support the fight against a disease that continues to impact too many lives.
An opera that reflects on the past, present, and future — an opera about now. La Monnaie’s world premiere of Bernard Foccroulle’s Cassandra, conducted by Kazushi Ono, is now available via Outhere Music.
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.
