About this audio guide
This guide to the Bourlaschouwburg in Antwerp starts in the city archive, with a music historian working through old theatre ledgers that log thousands of pieces of painted scenery. It then turns to the eighteen thirties, when the city architect Pierre Bourla and two French scene painters, Philastre and Cambon, built this theatre and what went on behind its stage. Best heard on the square, facing the neoclassical front.
