On&nbsp;<strong>Wednesday 13 May<\/strong>, just days before&nbsp;<strong>Brussels Pride 2026<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>De Munt<\/strong>&nbsp;brings those worlds together again with the second edition of its&nbsp;<strong>Drag Queen Opera Quiz<\/strong>, created and hosted by&nbsp;<strong>\u00c9lys\u00e9e Moon<\/strong>&nbsp;and accompanied this year on piano by&nbsp;<strong>Andr\u00e9s Soler Casta\u00f1o<\/strong>. Two sessions are scheduled, at&nbsp;<strong>18:30<\/strong>&nbsp;en&nbsp;<strong>21:00<\/strong>, in the&nbsp;<strong>Fiocco Room<\/strong>&nbsp;of La Monnaie\u2019s workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That already sounds like catnip for queer Brussels. But what makes the event really interesting is that it is not just camp for camp\u2019s sake. This year\u2019s quiz focuses on the representation of&nbsp;<strong>female characters in opera<\/strong>, a discussion that resonates strongly with La Monnaie\u2019s current staging of&nbsp;<strong>Medusa<\/strong>, the new opera by&nbsp;<strong>Lydia Steier<\/strong>&nbsp;en&nbsp;<strong>Iain Bell<\/strong>&nbsp;that explores violence against women through the myth of Medusa. In other words: expect glitter, yes, but also real questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lyse-moon-is-already-part-of-the-house\">\u00c9lys\u00e9e Moon is already part of the house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c9lys\u00e9e Moon is not a guest parachuted into the opera world for Pride Week. At La Monnaie, she already moves through the institution as both a&nbsp;<strong>tenor<\/strong>&nbsp;and a&nbsp;<strong>guide<\/strong>, offering sung tours of the theatre and workshops that revisit opera history through a queer lens. That dual presence matters: she knows how to make opera accessible without flattening it, and how to bring humour into the room without treating the art form like a museum relic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same goes for&nbsp;<strong>Andr\u00e9s Soler Casta\u00f1o<\/strong>, the pianist and singer who will accompany the quiz this year. He is also connected to the house through&nbsp;<strong>Cassandra Koor<\/strong>, La Monnaie\u2019s amateur choir, which he accompanies. So while the event feels playful and proudly offbeat, it is firmly rooted in the ecosystem of the opera house itself.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/magazine\/3985-resonances\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"witches-monsters-seductresses-and-heroines\">Witches, monsters, seductresses and heroines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to La Monnaie, the Drag Queen Opera Quiz will take audiences on a light\u2011hearted journey through opera\u2019s great female figures:&nbsp;<strong>witches, monsters, seductresses and liberated heroines<\/strong>, brought to life through live\u2011sung excerpts, anecdotes and interactive questions. That framing is especially juicy in 2026, with&nbsp;<strong>Medusa<\/strong>&nbsp;at the centre of the house\u2019s programming and broader conversations around how opera has represented women as dangerous, tragic, punished or impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For queer audiences, this kind of event lands in a sweet spot. It lets opera be theatrical, ridiculous and emotional all at once, while also opening a conversation about who gets to be seen as monstrous, glamorous, threatening or free. In that sense, the quiz feels very Pride\u2011aligned: playful on the surface, political underneath.<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/magazine\/3985-resonances\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-perfect-stop-during-pride-week\">A perfect stop during Pride Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The timing is no accident.&nbsp;<strong>Brussels Pride 2026<\/strong>&nbsp;culminates on&nbsp;<strong>Saturday 16 May<\/strong>, but the city\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Pride Week<\/strong>&nbsp;begins days earlier with talks, performances, screenings and community events across Brussels. The Drag Queen Opera Quiz slots beautifully into that calendar, offering something for people who want a queer cultural night out before diving into the full Saturday chaos of the&nbsp;<strong>Pride March<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Pride Village<\/strong>&nbsp;and afterparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also says something about where Brussels is right now. Pride in the capital is no longer confined to bars and clubs; it spills into opera houses, museums, public spaces and neighbourhood venues. Seeing La Monnaie open its workshops to a drag\u2011led, queer\u2011framed event during Pride Week is part of that broader shift, and a welcome one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-this-matters-for-ket-readers\">Why this matters for Ket readers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Ket\u2019s audience, the appeal is obvious: this is one of those rare Brussels events that manages to be&nbsp;<strong>smart, queer, funny and institutionally subversive<\/strong>&nbsp;at the same time. You can come as an opera nerd, a drag lover, a curious date, or someone who simply wants to see what happens when a major cultural house loosens its corset a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And because the evening is rooted in questions around female representation, rather than just \u201copera trivia,\u201d it avoids becoming a gimmick. It turns the quiz format into a door: a way into conversations about gender, performance and power that fit perfectly into the lead\u2011up to Pride weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"useful-links\">Useful links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brusselspride.eu\/fr\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brussels Pride 2026 \u2013 official site<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brusselspride.eu\/fr\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/fr\/program\/3918-drag-queen-opera-quiz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Drag Queen Opera Quiz \u2013 La Monnaie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Monnaie calendar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/magazine\/3985-resonances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resonances around Medusa \u2013 La Monnaie<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/en\/magazine\/3985-resonances\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/fr\/magazine\/4028-la-creation-de-medusa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La cr\u00e9ation de \u201cMedusa\u201d \u2013 La Monnaie<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamonnaiedemunt.be\/fr\/magazine\/4028-la-creation-de-medusa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>KET Magazine is a community\u2011driven, non\u2011profit magazine run by volunteers based in Brussels.
