From May 23 to June 1, it is time for the 20th edition of the O. Festival (formerly the Opera Days) in Rotterdam. The place to be if you love opera, music and theater.
During O., makers and audiences from home and abroad are brought together. Every spring, a festival awaits you, with performances on established stages and top locations. A renewed form of opera, where you will be touched!
Visitors can once again visit the most diverse performances for ten full festival days, with the narrative power of the singing voice as a guideline. This year, the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary, with performances by Silbersee, Nicole Beutler and Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, among others.
During the 2025 edition, a major role is reserved for (amateur) choirs. During the festival, performances and concerts can be seen all over the city. From works in progress to world premieres, created by young makers and established names from home and abroad.
The anniversary edition opens on 23 May with Café de Verlossing, a folk opera by composer Akim Moïseenkov, performed by Silbersee and a choir of local seniors.
Other notable productions include:
In addition, O. Lab offers visitors the opportunity to take a look at the creative process of makers during Works in Progress performances.
There are different types of tickets to choose from. For example, choose a day ticket, which allows you to attend festivals from early to late and visit various performances and concerts. Would you rather visit a single performance? This is possible with a separate ticket.
For real fans, there are passe-partout tickets, which allow you to attend all performances for ten days.
