Are you a Belgian culture lover and fan of the Queen Elizabeth Competition? For an audience survey, UGent students are curious to know your opinion about this prestigious competition.
Until Sunday, 23 February, they are investigating how the Queen Elisabeth Competition is perceived within the Belgian and international cultural landscape. By filling in this survey you stand a chance of winning one of the 10 duo tickets for the semi-final or final of the 2025 edition, dedicated to the piano.
Completing the questionnaire will only take 15 minutes and participation is possible until midnight on Sunday, 23 February. Winners will be notified personally by e-mail during the week of 24 February.
During a literary encounter with J. M. Coetzee on the stage of La Monnaie, Christina Scheppelmann announced that the 2003 Nobel Prize winner in Literature is writing a libretto for a new La Monnaie opera, to be premiered in the 2027–2028 season: Elizabeth Costello in limbo.
Christina Scheppelmann, who became the first female General and Artistic Director of La Monnaie this season, has been nominated for the ELLE Woman of the Year 2025 award.
On 29 September 2025, the façade of La Monnaie will turn red for World Heart Day. With this symbolic gesture, our opera house joins a global movement raising awareness about cardiovascular diseases.
