JacobTV: Transposition

Transposition is a documentary spoken opera. A musician couple with two babies goes through forced emigration, rupture, and loss. Throughout the long journey to Amsterdam, with nothing left but each other and music, they face the question: how can we create art when everything is in ruins — when the world has gone to shit? 10,11,12 September at Open Door Space

Jan-Peter de Graaff: Hagar, an opera in 4 scenes

On Thursday, May 15th, the Nederlandse Reisopera presented its upcoming season with a brand new opera.  A bold and creative partnership between composer Jan-Peter de Graaff and librettist Eleanor Barlow, Hagar is a daring, modern and fiercely human reimagining of the ancient tale that explores resilience, scandal, and consequence.

When you think of Indonesia, the spicy scents of the oriental kitchen probably come to mind. But perhaps also wajang puppets, chirping monkeys swinging through the jungle, or a volcano that could erupt at any moment. Or the traditional dances in beautiful clothing.
