OPEN CALL / Auditions METROPOLIS
Music Theatre Transparant and DE SINGEL Summer Sessions are once again looking for a group of young talent (aged 15–25) to immerse themselves in the world of music theatre for two weeks this summer.
Supported by a professional, artistic team, we will create our own performance where we bring together music, singing, dance, spoken word, theatre, and other art forms (you name it) from various genres. We start from your talent and creative vision. You create, we inspire each other, and together we shape the performance.

With METROPOLIS, we explore the city of tomorrow as part of the Metropolis City Festival 2026. In 1927, this iconic science fiction film by Fritz Lang was released in cinemas, a story set in a futuristic city in 2026. Nearly 100 years later, we project Fritz Lang's vision onto our own future. What does the city of tomorrow look like? Who lives there? And is it even still liveable? Ready to put your creative brain to the test?
Sign up for the auditions on March 22 & 23, 2025, at DE SINGEL (Antwerp). We will send you an assignment to prepare later.

Want to soak up some ambience first? Last summer, we created the performance (RE)SET. Scroll on!
(RE)SET is a TRANSLAB project, the talent development programme of Muziektheater Transparant and is part of the DE SINGEL Summer Sessions. With TRANSLAB, Muziektheater Transparant is opening its doors to young creators! We offer support to young talent and give them the chance to get to work themselves, using our production house as a safe harbour. Muziektheater Transparant engages with a new generation of performing artists and brings them in contact with inspiring artists.
