Brussels’s La Monnaie has announced a performance lineup for the 2020/2021 season.

New productions include “The time of our singing”, the world premiere, “The Turn of the Screw”, and “Henry VIII”.

“The time of our singing” is a work by Chris Defort of Belgium who turned from a jazz charismatic pianist to a composer.

Add to this the Belgian premiere of Adam Maor’s “The Sleeping Thousand”, which was premiered at the Aix-Provence Festival last year.

Mahor (1983-) is an Israeli composer, and “The Sleeping Thousand” is a Hebrew opera about the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

There will also be a performance entitled “Bastarda!” An attempt to portray the life of Elizabeth I of Britain by combining excerpts from four Donizetti’s operas.

The four operas are “Elisabetta al castello di Kenilworth”, “Anna Bolena”, “Maria Stuarda”, and “Roberto Devereux”. It will be two days, conducted by Francesco Lanzillotta.
