On 10 September 2016, the National Orchestra of Belgium, La Monnaie and BOZAR are joining forces to open their season with a musical journey through the very heart of Brussels
In September 2016, an unusual musical project takes place in Brussels; it was initiated by La Monnaie, Bozar Music, and the NOB and is under the patronage of the European Union. Together, the National Orchestra of Belgium and the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and Choirs add up to a group of 250 outstanding professional musicians. Come and see what they can achieve artistically outside of their usual institutional frameworks and away from their usual repertoire, during free open-air concerts in the City of Brussels.
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.
A real feast for the eyes and ears in 2023, La Monnaie’s production of Tchaikovsky’s most intimate and celebrated opera, directed by Laurent Pelly and conducted by Alain Altinoglu, is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming via Naxos.
