deSingel

International arts centre of the Flemish Community in Antwerp, hosting music, dance and theatre alongside the Royal Conservatory.

deSingel is the international arts centre of the Flemish Community of Belgium, located on Desguinlei in Antwerp. The complex houses multiple stages, concert halls and exhibition spaces with programming spanning contemporary music, dance, theatre and architecture. Under one roof it hosts the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, the Flemish Architecture Institute and the Study Centre for Flemish Music. Opened in 1975, it has built a reputation as a laboratory for avant-garde work, rarely drifting toward mainstream repertoire. Anyone exploring Antwerp culturally beyond the old city centre will find it worth a visit.
