ABOUT THE BELGIAN OPERA AND OPERETTA ORGANISATION
The Belgian Opera and Operetta Organisation (BOOO) was founded in 2023 by Hadrien Baudot and Senne Martens. Its primary goal is to promote and produce opera for a broader audience. BOOO’s productions range from intimate concert formats to musical theatre performances incorporating operatic excerpts, as well as full-scale opera productions.BOOO positions itself as a Belgium-based organisation with an international outlook, committed to lowering the threshold for opera. We firmly believe that this mission can be achieved by engaging with audiences across borders and by building strong international connections.
