Angels’ wings on a coat rack provide an intriguing entrance to this exhibition, celebrating La Monnaie’s 300-year history as an opera house. Old stage props and memorabilia are combined with works by nine contemporary artists. Of the latter, the most arresting are suspended dandelions arranged by Michel François, and the slide images – also on a floral theme – of Peter Fischili and David Weiss. One old picture depicts how La Monnaie was severely damaged by fire in the 1850s. Visitors to this exhibition will rejoice that it has been painstakingly restored.
