Performer: Opera Ballet Vlaanderen

A very well balanced triple bill comprising two revivals and a world premiere gave ample opportunity for the dancers of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen to show off their versatility in Antwerp.

In Rites, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen confirm its status as a leading contemporary dance company with a formidable triple bill, technically demanding for both dancers and orchestra.

Digital projections make Opera Ballet Vlaanderen’s Parsifal seem alienating and strange, but the singing is terrific and the orchestra sounds sensational.

Opera Ballet Vlaanderen powers its way through an exciting revamp of Hofesh Shechter’s inimitable Grand Finale.

Not a great day for the patriarchy: Ersan Mondtag's gripping new Salome emphasises grotesque caricatures and ends with a bloody, plot-twisting coup d’état. 

With many new full-length dance works to look out for in the new season, we preview several anticipated new creations from leading choreographers – including a number with newly commissioned scores.

With bases in Ghent and Antwerp, Opera Vlaanderen offers a broad repertoire to the Flemish region of Belgium, exemplified this season by seven productions ranging from familiar classics to tasty rarities.
