Concert halls Gent

In the first half of the 19th century, the rich industrialists of Ghent subsidised the construction of a new luxury opera house to proudly display their fortune. The result is still astonishing in the 21st century: worthy of Italian opera houses, in this opera house with its horseshoe-shaped hall, red velvet predominates, chandeliers glitter on concert evenings, gilding and stucco on the walls. The programming is interesting.

One nothing except city, for fans of commercial cinema. Always in VO.

Classical music concerts. Located in the abbey.

Very well-known theatre company offering quality performances (only in Flemish).

This bar is run by the founders of the Ghent Festivities - that's saying something! It's an institution for all Ghenters. This rather relaxed café bruin (traditional bar) is a good place for a frothy nightcap on weekdays or weekends. What's more, the bar hosts concerts almost every evening (free every Monday) from 9pm, and DJ sets on Sunday evenings, in a wide variety of styles (indie pop, rock, reggae, slam, acoustic folk, etc.). The atmosphere is very intimate, and the relationship with the artists direct.
