Review: KINKY BOOTS at Château du Karreveld
Vincent Heden's bold, controversial Lola anchors a Kinky Boots that stumbles early and dances late — but Bruxellons' craft makes it sing regardless.…

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…

What did our critic think of LA PETITE ANNONCE FAITE À MARIE AT THÉÂTRE ROYAL DU PARC at Theatre Du Parc?…
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
Art Fantesies has built its reputation in Belgium on family friendly musical theatre with big heart and big visuals, and ALICE ET LA PIERRE D’OPAZE fits that identity perfectly. Conceived for the company's 20th anniversary, as an original sequel to Alice in Wonderland, the story follows Alice as s…

War Requiem
«I am the enemy you killed, my friend...» (Je suis l’ennemi que vous avez tue?, mon ami). Les vers du poe?te britannique Wilfred Owen, te?moin et victime de la Premie?re Guerre mondiale font du War Requiem de Benjamin Britten un manifeste de re?sistance artistique et...
La Clemenza di Tito
Rome, 79 AD. The emperor Titus narrowly escapes the attack his best friend Sextus has plotted against him under pressure from his beloved Vitellia. Titus is faced with the heartrending choice of following his feelings and granting his friend clemency, or following his reason and...
Angelika Kirchschlager
In the latter days of Romanticism, German Lieder once again enjoyed tremendous popularity. At the end of the 19th century, such composers as Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss were happy to return to early poems by Mörike, Eichendorff, Klopstock and numerous other romantics because...
Re:Zeitung
In 2008 Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker created Zeitung with the pianist Alain Franco, based on compositions by Bach, Webern and Schoenberg. A fascinating show, which once again bore witness to her unique talent at bringing movement to meet music with obvious and overwhelming...
Rosas dans Rosas
Even now, thirty years after its creation, the mythical Rosas danst Rosas continues to surprise us with its modernity and move us with the determined grace of its young performers. Written in 1983 for the four founding members of the Rosas troupe, this dynamic and rhythmical...
Marie-Nicole Lemieux
Thanks to passionate experts of baroque like Andrea Marcon, the last decades we have rediscovered many previously unknown works by the prolific Antonio Vivaldi, including sacred songs as well as twenty-odd operas which contain some marvellous arias. The lyrical repertoire of the...
4D
In a single evening, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui brings together four special duets whose variations – couples, doubles, opposites or complementary – already constitute a full programme. Faun delivers a new dance version of Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, in which the...
Jérémie Rhorer
The two main works in this concert, dedicated to Ludwig van Beethoven, were written during a dark and difficult period. In 1809 the composition of Piano Concerto no. 5 was interrupted by political events: Vienna was invaded by the French. Beethoven was obliged to hide and the...
Sacre
SACRE On 29th May, 1913, Le Sacre du printemps, composed by Igor Stravinsky for Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes and choreographed by Nijinsky, caused a scandal at its premiere in Paris. Since then this volcanic work has become ‘the 9th symphony of the 20th century’ and has inspired...
Schubert Quartette
All four of them have highly acclaimed careers as soloists but they come together to form an exceptional quartet of singers who set out to introduce us to melodic but previously unknown works for mixed voices. In 2011 Marlis Petersen, Anke Vondung, Werner Gu?ra and Konrad Jarnot...
