Copyright request

Before you can perform a play, you must request the copyright. From now on, you can submit (almost) all your requests through a single form on the OPENDOEK website.

Copyright request

General

Enter the details of your company here, along with the contact information of the person the copyright societies can reach out to if they have any questions.

Please note! This form is intended for performance rights only. If you want to be sure that a play may be performed, it is best to request this from the copyright administrator before you start rehearsing. If you do not know who manages the copyright for the play you have chosen, feel free to contact the Theaterbib at 03 222 40 95 or theaterbib@opendoek.be

Is your theatre group affiliated with OPENDOEK?  

Even if your theatre group is not affiliated with OPENDOEK, you can submit your request through this form. Affiliated groups receive discounts and other benefits through OPENDOEK, including a reduced SABAM rate of 11% on their income instead of the usual 12.6%.

Enter the name of the company or organisation under which you are submitting this request.
