This was the radiant power of LUNALIA
The festival edition in honour of Glow has come to an end. With over 150 artists from 14 different countries, 13 concerts, 1 neighbourhood project and the grand opening party LUNALIA LIFT OFF with 12 extra free performances, Festival of Flanders Mechelen once again brought timeless music, fuelled by the power of the full moon, to thousands of listeners. 4433 visitors found their way to the festival this year. That represents 88% of the available capacity. Two new works were performed, including a new piece by the Latvian composer PÄ“teris Vasks. The Spanish ensemble in residence, Accademia del Piacere, set Mechelen alight with four different projects.
Thank you for listening!
A preview of next season!
Lunalia, in collaboration with Theater Arsenaal and I SOLISTI, is bringing the project Fidelio ~ Leonore to Mechelen on 13, 14 and 15 May 2027.
Fidelio ~ Leonore is not a traditional heroic tale but a confrontational exploration of just how far one can go for love. What remains of two people when they find each other again after falling into the abyss?
Starring: Charlotte Vandermeersch, Pieter Genard, Femke Stallaert and Willy Thomas, I SOLISTI conducted by Francis Pollet, text by Gaea Schoeters and music by Ludwig van Beethoven.

OPEN CALL Moon Works 2026
After three successful editions of “The Warmest night of Talent,” the project is getting a new name starting this year: Moon Works. This year, Moon Works consists of two parts. On the one hand, it offers a creative development program in which young artists are given the opportunity to develop new interdisciplinary work. On the other hand, it organizes an open call for young talent, providing promising ensembles with a stage and professional support.
