From sketch to spectacle

In the set and costume ateliers of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen we are used to quite a bit, but when Ersan Mondtag - who we remember from Der Smied von Ghent and Der Silbersee - prepares a production, we expect something extraordinary. As such, a set is unlikely to get much bigger than this... Mondtag is also costume designer for the first time and all costumes are made new by the team in the studio.

Find out in this video how the set and costume studios work together to bring Mondtag's bold ideas to life. From puzzling over thousands of set pieces and perfecting every detail in the costumes ... all to bring the magic to life on stage.
