Theatres

Belgium

The Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie (or la Monnaie) in French,
or the Koninklijke Muntschouwburg (or de Munt) in Dutch is a theatre 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.

Bulgaria

The National Opera and Ballet (Bulgarian: Национална опера и
балет)is a national cultural institution in Bulgaria that covers opera and
ballet. It is based in an imposing building in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The
first opera company in Bulgaria was founded in 1890 as part of the Capital
Opera and Drama Company. The two sections split in 1891 to form the Salza i
Smyah theatrical company and the Capital Bulgarian Opera. It was, however,
disbanded the next year due to lack of government funding and financial
difficulties.
