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!
Aftermovie La Strada
A look back at La Strada! Singer Lieselot De Wilde and podcast producer Eva De Groote set out across Mechelen to collect stories. These stories have now been given a platform, sometimes in the form of an interview, sometimes in the form of a song, performed by the Bel Ayre Quartet. Meanwhile, Ukrainian artist Kirill Zemtsov illustrated all the travel stories. Together with culinary artists Hadas Cnaani and Sadaf Malyar, the audience was taken on a musical and culinary journey.
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.
