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.
"This is pretty much everything I want in a modern opera. The story is compelling, important and beautifully crafted. The music is complex, textured, emotionally appropriate, lyrical and, for the reasonably open-minded, very accessible."
– My Scena
In September 2023, La Monnaie opened its season with a striking contribution to contemporary opera: Cassandra, by Belgian composer Bernard Foccroulle and librettist Matthew Jocelyn. From Ancient Greece to the present day, the cry of the mythical Cassandra is echoed by Sandra, a modern-day scientist, activist and stand-up comedian, in an evocative piece with powerful performances by the two leads – Katarina Bradić and Jessica Niles.
With the rich musical support of the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Kazushi Ono, Cassandra now resonates far beyond the stage, as Outhere Music releases a live recording, available on cd and via hi-res download and streaming.
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.
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.
