The Saint-Saëns centenary of 2021 continues to bear fruit. Postponed due to the pandemic, La Monnaie in Brussels is offering a new production of a rare gem with Henry VIII. The opera is one of its many little-known masterpieces and will benefit from the musical direction of Alain Altinoglu and the staging of Olivier Py with the excellent Lionel Lhote in the role of King Henry VIII. The performances will take place from 11 to 27 May 2023.
