The annual youth opera from Muziektheater Transparant is internationally "the place to be" for young musicians who want to taste the creation of an opera production under professional supervision. A short but intensive rehearsal period introduces singers and instrumentalists into the world of baroque music and music theater, and prepares them for a series of performances. They are closely involved in the staging, receive intensive training in baroque music and gain stage experience in a professional context. The French ballet opera "Les Indes Galantes" by Jean-Philippe Rameau is the backdrop for the 2018 edition. This year's unique TRANSLAB project is directed by director Luigi de Angelis and harpsichord / conductor Korneel Bernolet. They take singers and instrumentalists in tow in the creation of a performance that smells of entertaining exoticism, wrapped in 18th-century philosophy.
