Wheelchair users

La Monnaie’s Main Auditorium not only offers excellent acoustics but is also a wonderful setting for our shows. It is indeed part of the city’s historic heritage. However, this listed gem also has its drawbacks: the Main Auditorium was not designed with wheelchair access in mind, and there is little room for adaptation. Nevertheless, we do our utmost to ensure that wheelchair users can also enjoy our shows to the full.

• We have two places reserved for wheelchairs in the Main Auditorium. They are located at the back of the parterre. From there, the surtitle displays are unfortunately not visible, except when they are set up on the side balconies.
• A ticket for a wheelchair seat costs €30. Tickets must be purchased from MM Tickets. When booking, please state the size of your wheelchair and whether you require special assistance.
• Wheelchair users can make use of the adapted sanitary facilities in our Theatre.
• Guided tours of our Theatre and Workshops are accessible to wheelchair users, who also benefit from a 50% discount.
• For safety reasons, we are unable to accommodate wheelchairs in the aisles of the Main Auditorium. It is therefore not possible to leave your wheelchair behind you or next to you and use a seat not reserved for wheelchairs. 
• If you wish to book a place for a wheelchair for one of our shows outside La Monnaie, please contact MM Tickets and we will be happy to look into the possibilities.

Assistance dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome at our shows. 

AUDIODESCRIPTION

Each season, La Monnaie provides a number of performances with an audio description. This allows the visually impaired operagoer to listen to a description of what is happening on the stage via headphones. A commentator’s voice summarises the action live, situates it in time and place, and provides details about clothing, hairdos and facial expressions – all these elements contribute to the telling of the tale and are part of a high-quality opera experience.

Transport to La Monnaie

People with reduced mobility can obtain special authorization to access the entrance to our Theatre with their own vehicle or by taxi.

Personal assistance

Our ushers will be happy to offer assistance to anyone who requires it.

Lift

La Monnaie has a lift that enables people with reduced mobility to move from the ground floor to the upper floors of the Theatre.

SENNHEISER MOBILECONNECT

During the season 2025-26, we will introduce the Sennheiser MobileConnect app, ensuring optimal sound quality in our Great Hall for people with hearing aids.
