La Monnaie (in Flemish: De Munt) is an opera house in Brussels . It
is the leading opera company in Belgium. It is one of the few cultural
instutions which receives financial support from the federal government of Belgium.
The original theatre on the site was commissioned by the Italian
financier Gio Paolo Bombarda (banker to Maximilian-Emmanuel of
Bavaria, the last governor of the Spanish Netherlands). It was
inaugurated in 1700. It was replaced in 1819 by a new theater, which
burnt to the ground on 21 January 1855. The current theater was
reconstructed shortly thereafter. It was completely renovated during the
1985-1986 season.
La Monnaie played a prominent role in the formation of Belgium. In
August 1830, stirred by a performance of Auber's La Muette de
Portici at La Monnaie, the Belgian Revolution broke out.
