This summer, for the Barcelona premiere of the opera Bovary, the La Monnaie Chorus will perform on the stage of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.
On 4 and 5 July, Bovary, the second opera by Belgian composer Harold Noben commissioned by La Monnaie, will travel to Barcelona for its Spanish premiere. Adapted from Gustave Flaubert’s celebrated novel Madame Bovary, this acclaimed production by Michael De Cock and Carme Portaceli premiered in Brussels in April 2025.
For these two performances at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya, the La Monnaie Chorus will be reprising their role – which is central to the score – and will be prepared for the occasion by conductor Jori Klomp.
As part of the worldwide Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the façade of La Monnaie will lit up in pink from 17 to 19 October. Through this symbolic gesture, our house aims to highlight what is still insufficiently known about the disease.
