Comic students from Saint-Luc at the Royal Opera of Wallonia

A unique artistic collaboration allows future comic artists to draw inspiration from opera rehearsals for their creations.

Des étudiants en BD de Saint-Luc à l'Opéra Royal de Wallonie

- ORW 2026

Comic strip students from the Saint-Luc School in Liège attended a rehearsal of Maurice Ravel's L’Heure espagnole and L’Enfant et les Sortilèges at the Royal Opera of Wallonia-Liège.

With notebooks and pencils in hand, the students took their seats in the boxes to observe the singers and musicians rehearsing. Their challenge was to capture attitudes, movements, lighting, and stage compositions on the spot.
Organized as part of Loïc Holzemer's drawing and expression class, this outing allowed second-year comic strip students to discover opera from a different perspective. Sets, costumes, scenography, and the artists' work provided rich material to observe and translate through drawing.
This initiative fostered a beautiful encounter between two artistic universes that, each in their own way, tell stories through images.
