The famous Brussels Opera just announced it, everything is ready to welcome the public again with just some adjustments.

One of the highlights of the season (from October 22, 2020), Korngold’s Die tote Stadt starring Marlis Petersen, Roberto Saccà and Georg Nigl has been shortened to a version of less than two hours to allow a performance without any intermission.

At the Palais des Beaux-Arts, the performance of the concert version of Lodewijk Mortelmans’ rare opera De Kinderen der Zee is postponed to a future season. Instead, Alain Altinoglu will conduct Der Schauspieldirektor, Mozart’s comedy, on November 22 & 24, 2020.
