As one of Belgium’s three roy­al opera houses, the Opéra Roy­al de Wal­lonie-Liège is one of the country’s most import­ant cul­tur­al insti­tu­tions. Foun­ded by the cit­izenry in 1820, the Opéra Roy­al de Wal­lonie-Liège has a longer tra­di­tion than the Bel­gian mon­archy. Today, it is a mod­ern opera house with reg­u­lar online broad­casts, real­ised amongst oth­ers by france.tv and medici.tv, which are received world­wide. Since 2022, Stefano Pace has been gen­er­al man­ager of the house, and the chief con­duct­or is Giam­paolo Bis­anti.

The 2026/27 sea­son, under the motto „Powers, Desires“, con­nects two insep­ar­able forces that shape the his­tory of opera as much as human pas­sions: power and desire. Along­side rep­er­toire pieces such as Verdi’s Macbeth and Puccini’s Tur­an­dot new pro­duc­tions like Smetana’s also come Kiss and Strauss‘ Capric­cio and with Zom­bie Opera by Andrea Bat­tistoni, even a con­tem­por­ary pro­duc­tion on stage.

Opheli­as Cul­ture PR has been sup­port­ing Opéra Liège with cross-region­al press rela­tions in Ger­man-speak­ing coun­tries for many years. Clas­sic press work and the organ­isa­tion of press trips help to increase the opera house’s pro­file in Ger­many, Aus­tria, and Switzer­land.
