The Covid pandemic was a major blow to our current cultural year, with many of our productions having to be postponed to a later season. The artists who were meant to perform at La Monnaie did not forget our audience, though. Canadian mezzo Michèle Losier, who was set to perform the role of Octavian, here performs the very first sung words from ‘Der Rosenkavalier’ by Richard Strauss, as well as the ‘Prière’ by Charles Gounod.
