Scheppelmann is going to helm La Monnaie/De Munt, the National Opera of Belgium, where she’ll oversee an eight-opera season at one of Europe’s most prestigious opera companies.

The company recently announced she will step down after her contract expires at the end of the 2023-24 season to take on the reins as general director at one of the leading opera houses in Europe, La Monnaie/De Munt in Brussels.

The season opens in a moment of transition for the company, with general director Christina Scheppelmann having announced she would be leaving after the end of the season for Belgium’s national opera company La Monnaie/De Munt.

Scheppelmann, who became general director of Seattle Opera in August 2019, will depart to take over as general director at La Monnaie/De Munt in Brussels.

Somerset County Council lead member for children and families, Tessa Munt, said the county urgently needed more foster homes and it was "wonderful" to see Ms Lloyd raising awareness of the importance of fostering.
