Dutch National Opera - Season 2025-2026

Dutch National Opera
Dutch National Opera is based in Amsterdam and has been presenting acclaimed opera productions since 1965. The company is known for its wide-ranging repertoire: from fresh interpretations of the classics to rarely performed works and brand-new commissions. Since the 2018-2019 season, Sophie de Lint has been its artistic director.

In both 2016 and 2023, Dutch National Opera was named Best Opera Company at the International Opera Awards. In the 2025-2026 season the company will celebrate two important milestones: its 60th anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the Opera Forward Festival, established in 2016 as a platform for new voices and young talent.

Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège - Season 2025-2026

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra of Liège's 2025–2026 season promises to be vibrant and daring, marked by a new energy: that of French conductor Lionel Bringuier, with whom the orchestra shares ‘La Passion en commun’. Together, they are opening a new chapter where tradition, modernity and openness come together in a programme that is as demanding as it is inspiring.

Under Bringuier's baton, the OPRL will showcase the great names of the symphonic repertoire — Ravel, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bartók and many others — while venturing into new horizons with innovative formats: the Concert & Rencontre series, L'Heure symphonique for shorter, more accessible concerts, and the Nouveaux Classiques series, dedicated to the fascinating ‘Modern Classical’ movement.

This season also features prestigious artists such as Hélène Grimaud, Gautier and Renaud Capuçon, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Alina Baeva, and the duo Pavel Kolesnikov & Samson Tsoy, who will enhance a programme resolutely focused on excellence and emotion.

Ever faithful to its mission of openness, the OPRL offers a rich palette of experiences: family concerts, contemporary music, world music, early music, and immersive concerts combining music with photography, manga, video games, and cinema.
