De Nacht
In 1998, together with the pupils of the Maria Boodschap primary school in Brussels, the composer Walter Hus created a children’s opera about the fantasy of night and dreams. Hus is now reviving this opera with about 300 children from 6 to 13 from the Academy of Word and Music in Sint-Agatha-Berchem (Brussels), where he teaches piano. Together they turn the stage into a spectacular of sleepwalking cuddly toys, scary nocturnal shadows, wailing ghosts, knights of the night, and so on. A real children’s orchestra takes its place in the orchestra pit and plays Hus’ music with an infectious enthusiasm.
