‘It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s de-lovely.’
On June 18, 20 and 22, Così fan tutte, an opera as funny as it is profound, will be performed at the Théâtre Royal des Galeries. A philosopher and a chambermaid pull the strings, while four young lovers waver between fidelity and desire, guilt and true love. The plot is illuminated by Mozart's music, which never lies nor betrays. If you would like to learn more, two informative lectures in French will be held on 17 and 19 June in the bookshop at Maison CFC, place des Martyrs.
‘I wanna dance with somebody.'
On 21 June, also at the Théâtre des Galeries, it is Brahms' turn to make our hearts dance — in three-four time! A great admirer of Johann Strauss, Brahms wrote his first waltzes for piano four hands. His enchanting Liebesliederwalzer introduce four voices, which sing in turn of longing, nostalgia, sadness and joy.
‘Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away.'
On 17 and 19 June, in the Galerie du Roi, two seductive Serenades take us on a magic carpet ride from Oslo to Rio, via Naples and Seville. In their third appearance at the Festival, the talented Udana wind quintet will perform two programmes of works from the 18th century to the present day.
‘On the road again.’
In July, our Così will travel to the Théâtre Royal in Mons for the Festival au Carré, then on to the Grand-Manège in Namur for the Festival musical de Namur. We can hardly wait…

See you all in June for the 9th Mozartiade, dedicated this time to the delightful – sometimes perilous – game of love.
