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.
The Royal Academy of Art forms together with the Royal Conservatoire the University of the Arts The Hague. We offer 7 Bachelor and 7 Master degrees, a double degree trajectory and a doctorate in art and design in collaboration with Leiden University. These programmes are supplemented by our preparatory courses and the School for Young Talent.
The Royal Academy of Art educates students to become independent and self-aware artists and designers with investigative mindsets, distinctive visual and conceptual abilities, and the capacity to produce authentic and in-depth creative work capable of playing a meaningful role in both their chosen disciplines and in society as a whole. The orientation of our programmes is international and the teaching language is English.
