About La Monnaie

The Royal Opera House La Monnaie is Belgium's federal opera house. It is a cultural meeting point in the centre of Brussels and has for more than 300 years gathered people together for opera and dance performances, recitals and concerts. With its bold and internationally acclaimed productions, La Monnaie has taken its place among the major European opera houses and continues to achieve its artistic ambitions by attracting renowned performing artists, giving opportunities to talented young performers and above all by combining the traditional skills of its studios and workshops with a spirit of innovation. Not just art for art's sake, but because the experience of art succeeds in emancipating people in a variety of ways, making them stronger and reinforcing social ties.
