Presentation

Discover the most fascinating heroines of opera, with live music sparkling with sequins!

For the Pride Week in Brussels, the flamboyant drag queen and singer Élysée Moon invites you to an evening combining a fabulous opera quiz with live performances. Accompanied on the piano by Andrés Soler Castaño, she takes you on a light-hearted journey through the great female figures in the history of opera. Witches, monsters, seductresses and liberated heroines: much like the title role in our new production Medusa, these powerful, sometimes dangerous characters come to life through live-sung excerpts, anecdotes and interactive questions.

Could you recognise some of these heroines just by listening to an aria? Are they truly dangerous, or simply free? Whether you’re a hardcore opera lover or a curious newcomer, enjoy an evening of fun facts, deep emotions and just plain fun in our Fiocco Room!
