Der Schauspieldirektor
Opera ZuidTry-out en premièreFri 10 Nov ’23andSun 12 Nov ’23Making an opera out of the drama that unfolds just before a premiere -- Mozart did it. In the brilliant comedy Der Schauspieldirektor, the composer ridicules the opera world. Everything takes a role: from rival singers, giant egos and hectic rehearsals to arguments on stage. Opera singer and author Christopher Gillett, together with conductor Enrico Delamboye and a top cast full of young talent, bring out the sparkling lightness of this funny and inventive score. And, of course, Mozart's fantastic music stands central!
- Sung in German with Dutch and English surtitles.

Hybrid creatures emerge in the moonlight. In this immersive visual performance, we are shown the way to a new balance. In ATMEN, Beutler goes in search of a new balance between man, animal, plant, fungus and technology.

J.S. Bach – De Apocalyps
OPERA2DAY & de Nederlandse BachverenigingTue 30 Jan ’24OPERA2DAY and the Netherlands Bach Society took up the challenge to make de opera die Bach nooit schreef (the opera that Bach never wrote).

With compelling stage direction, an excellent cast, and a choir and orchestra from the Netherlands Bach Society, we hear and see Bach's music like never before. Sung and played in German, with Dutch and English surtitles.

De Barbier van Sevilla
Staatsopera van MoldavieSat 9 Mar ’24Perhaps the most well-known operatic aria there is: the famous aria from the Barbier van Sevilla. Rossini wrote this hilarious opera at a very young age, in which two men compete for the hand of the beautiful Rosina. The music still dances and excites and has not lost any of its power. With just a little imagination, you can hear Rossini chuckling in the background, sometimes even laughing out loud. If music can still fascinate and entertain people worldwide after more than 200 years, then that is already a special quality in itself.
