Henceforth Raphaële Green may call herself an MM Laureate. General director Peter de Caluwe handed her the diploma after the Concertino of Friday 10th November 2017.
Green will keep the title of MM Laureate for life and enjoys La Monnaie’s support for the following one to three years, which will help her in launching her career. She follows in the footsteps of the tenor Pierre Derhet, who received the title last year.
Raphaële Green is far from a stranger to the public of La Monnaie. She entered the Choral Academy during her studies, became an MM Soloist and sang in various opera productions (L’Elisir d’amore, Aida, La Vestale, Macbeth) and concerts. The MM Laureate degree is a reward and a recognition for all her accomplishments at La Monnaie.
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.
