Aloysia, his first love; Josepha, his first Queen of the Night; Constanze, his wife... The Weber sisters all certainly had a crucial impact on the life and career of Mozart. All served as muses to the young prodigy from Salzburg as he was writing some of his most beautiful arias. With works composed between the opening of La Scala in 1778 and the beginning of the French Revolution in 1789, the conductor Raphaël Pichon and the French soprano Sabine Devieilhe, both specialists in the Mozart repertoire, present a New Year concert that is both harmonious and virtuosic.

La Monnaie
The Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie is an Opera house in Brussels, Belgium. Both of its names translate as Royal Theatre of the Mint.
Today the National Opera of Belgium, a federal institution, takes the name of the theatre in which it is housed. Therefore, la Monnaie or de Munt refers both to the structure as well as the opera company.
As Belgium's leading opera house it is one of the few cultural institutions which receives financial support from the federal government of Belgium. Other opera houses in Belgium, such as the Vlaamse Opera and the Opéra Royal de Wallonie, are funded by regional governments.
