Anton Chekov, along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, were three late nineteenth and early twentieth century European playwrights who were the seminal figures in the birth of theatrical modernism.

This morning, news broke that composer Philippe Boesmans passed away last night after a short illness. “We want to remember Philippe for his humanism, his humour and his generosity”, says the general director of the La Monnaie / De Munt, Peter de Caluwe. “He was always a welcome guest at our Theatre and an essential support for our house. His artistic contribution to La Monnaie and to contemporary opera is invaluable.

His opinion mattered, as a friend and as a professional, and will be greatly missed.”
