Car-Free Sunday: On Sunday 22 September, from 9:30 am until 7 pm, no motor vehicles are allowed in the Brussels Region, except for public transport and cabs. We recommend that you prepare your journey to the performance of Siegfried well in advance. La Monnaie provides a supervised bicycle parking (and a goodie) for every cyclist. Thanks to the SNCB-NMBS Mobility Ticket, you can travel to Brussels by train for just €8.
CloseThe music of Ali is the result of a whole new approach to opera composition. In their score, Grey Filastine, Walid Ben Selim and Brent Arnold combine the propulsive power of electro beats and live percussion with the nuance of an orchestral sound and the raw, direct emotion of the human voice. It is music at the crossroads of different styles, influences and modes, able to express the most diverse landscapes and emotional states of Ali’s journey.
A week before opening night, we welcome the three composers for an accessible introductory talk at the KVS TOP. They will introduce you to the world of contemporary opera composition, where the combination of digital software, pre-recorded soundscapes and live music offers limitless possibilities. The evening will end with a convivial reception in the KVS Bar.
