By Nicolas Quiroga

La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra is set to kick off 250th anniversary celebration with a performance on Sept. 25, 2022.

While, the  highlight of the showcase will undoubtedly be a new concert for orchestra by Belgian composer Harold Noben, the concert will also include a performance of Richard Strauss’ “Vier letzte Lieder” with soprano Sally Matthews. Matthews recently performed with such companies as the Vienna State Opera, the Volksoper Wien, Opera Australia, and Opera Open, among others.

The program will also include “Redemption, Morceau symphonique,” M.52 by César Franck and the symphonic poem “Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche” by Richard Strauss.

La Monnaie’s 2022-23 season is set to kick off on Sept. 11 with a production of “Pique Dame” followed by “Der Rosenkavalier” in late October.
