Crafting Workshops
Presentation
Discover the artistry of opera through five themed workshops!
What if the secrets of opera were right at your fingertips? Over the course of one or more workshops at La Monnaie, discover the skills at the heart of an opera production. By giving new life to materials from the Workshops, you’ll be crafting unique creations inspired by the operas from the 2026–27 season, all in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. No experience is required: all that matters is your desire to create, to work with your hands and to give free rein to your imagination!
