To mark Pride Week, La Monnaie decorates its façade in rainbow colours, to show its unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
For several years now, the month of May has been an opportunity to celebrate tolerance in all its forms in Brussels, notably through the Pride. Unfortunately, the urgency of the message is still high. All over the world, people still suffer violence, exclusion and discrimination because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
In the run-up to the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, La Monnaie is showing its support for people who identify as LGBTQIA+ and organisations that defend their rights. In doing so, they bring about a more open society and La Monnaie wants to contribute to this transformation, convinced that culture and education have an essential role to play in it.
On 21 November, the International Opera Awards will recognise the artists, productions and most innovative projects that marked the international opera scene in 2026. La Monnaie has received two nominations: the first for the opera Medusa and the second for the Green Opera project.
The former General and Artistic Director of La Monnaie will succeed Markus Hinterhäuser and take up his new position in Salzburg on 1 October, following the 2027 Festival edition.
This year, Mobility Week coincides with the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the Brussels metro network. La Monnaie, which promotes sustainable mobility, has joined in the STIB’s celebrations by organising a pop-up fashion show at De Brouckère station on 15 September.
