Review: KINKY BOOTS at Château du Karreveld

Review: LA PéRICHOLE at European Theatre Club - Comédie Royale Claude Volter
Operettas are difficult to put on in today’s modern world. Their theatrical language asks for lightness, rhythm, caricature, and elegance, all at the same time. Put too much weight on them and they collapse. Treat them too casually and they become empty.…
Review: TOSCA at La Monnaie
Before the curtain rises, a Pasolini quote appears. It’s a clear warning this TOSCA won’t simply walk through Puccini’s Rome. It’ll filter it through Italian cinema, religion, power, desire, and violence.…
Review: THE ZOO at Brussels Light Opera Company
BLOC’s spring double bill brings together two short comic operas, THE ZOO and TRIAL BY JURY, and it’s the kind of evening that reminds you how satisfying light opera can be when it’s played with genuine skill. It’s colourful, musically confident, and consistently fun. You can feel the compan…
Review: BARTLEBY / LA VOIX HUMAINE at Opéra Royal De Wallonie Liège
BARTLEBY begins with a tease. The curtain only rises a little, just enough to show feet. Expressive. Unexpected and intriguing from the first second. When it finally lifts, Vincent Lemaire’s set reveals itself in clean, minimal lines, white bricks, a black table, black chairs, and a bust. It’s a…

Review: MEDUSA AT LA MONNAIE at La Monnaie
MEDUSA at La Monnaie opens with a sound that feels like it’s coming from somewhere far away, then closer, then right at your throat. An eerie choral orchestration approaches in waves, growing louder and heavier, until the stage itself seems to answer it. A black set begins to move, pivot, and brea…
Review: LUCREZIA BORGIA at Opera Royal De Wallonie Liège
Some evenings remind you why opera exists. LUCREZIA BORGIA at Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège did exactly that, in a space that feels fully aligned with what opera stands for, vocal mastery, ritual, and a visual world built to carry myth sized emotion.…
Review: ALICE ET LA PIERRE D'OPAZE at La Sucrerie de Wavre

Les Fêtes de l’hymen et de l’amour
When Jean-Philippe Rameau died in 1764 – 250 years ago – the world lost not only a great musicologist, but also a great opera composer who left us more than thirty works in this genre. Rameau composed Les Fêtes de l’hymen et de l’amour ou Les Dieux d’Égypte in 1747, on the...
