2025 Theaters

Just 500 meters north of the well-known Grand Place in the capital, one will find the Royal Theatre of La Monnaie. Once, its building was used for minting gold coins, which is where the phrase "de la Monnaie" or in English, "of the coin," originated in the name.

The theatre has successfully combined several eras and styles within itself. Neoclassicism, black-and-white geometry, monumentalism, Empire, and postmodernism-each of these directions has played its role in forming the "spirit" of La Monnaie, manifested in its architecture. The theatre is actively involved in cultural and educational activities, hosting concerts and festivals within its walls, and tourists can visit the La Monnaie backstage on a tour on days when there are no performances.
