In September and October, La Monnaie opens its doors for these two prestigious events, which showcase the heritage of Brussels in the firm belief that it’s essential to understand the city’s past in order to shape its future.
For this 36th edition of the Heritage Days, with as a central theme ‘New heritage - Brussels architecture from 1970 to 2000’, La Monnaie will welcome you on September 14th (10 am - 6 pm), for a series of free adapted guided tours of the Theatre.
Our house will also be taking part in the Brussels Neoclassic Biennale, which will highlight the capital’s neoclassical architectural heritage, by offering three days of guided tours: on September 30th (tours for people who learn Dutch and French as a foreign language and for audience members with disabilities), on October 5th (all audiences) and on October 6th (all audiences, with special care for people who are visually and hearing impaired).
On Sunday, September 1st, the third season of ‘Aria’ started on the Dutch television channel NPO1. In this talent show for young opera singers, a notable contestant graced the stage: MM Soloist Leander Carlier.
La Monnaie’s production of Bernard Foccroulle’s Cassandra and its stage director Marie-Eve Signeyrole have been nominated at the International Opera Awards 2024. These prestigious awards recognise the best and most innovative projects programmed on the international stage.
Next year, the non-profit association 'Mortier Awards' will present the Mortier Next Generation Award, for the fourth 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.
