On 9 November 2017 the Belgian cast of MOZART! gave a first insight into the production at the Paleis op de Meir in Antwerp. Ruben van Keer, who plays the role “Mozart”, presented his song “Ik ben muziek”. Ana Milva Gomes, who already played “Baronin von Waldstätten” in Vienna and will now play the role in Antwerp, sang the song “In het hart” together with the ensemble of the show. Grammy-Award winner and composer Sylvester Levay (music & arrangements MOZART!) accompanied the singers on the piano. Later on, the cast presented some of the gorgeous costumes of the show.
