Higher Education in Flanders

Operastudio Flanders' mission is different from similar initiatives abroad, which are either integrated into an opera house or part of a training institute. Flanders Operastudio has an autonomous artistic and educational function which it is able to put into effect throughout its various departments. In that regard the Operastudio does not limit its focus to being exclusively Flemish but is principally European and/or international.

In addition to the synergy it already enjoys with the Flemish Opera, the Antwerp, Ghent and Brussels Conservatories and the Ghent City Concert Hall, the Bijloke, new collaboration has emerged with (foreign) institutes and programmes, cultural organizers and musical ensembles: the Opera Studio Nederland, the Spectra-ensemble, the Brakke Grond (Amsterdam), Stadsschouwburg Bruges.

The studio's multi-disciplinary character is also shown in its collaboration with cultural partners. By organizing concerts, recitals, public courses and smaller productions the Operastudio hopes to appeal to new, young target groups.
