HOLLAND OPERA: OPERA VOOR DE TOEKOMST
Contact
Holland Opera makes opera for young and old.
After the great success of Reinaert de V., Holland Opera and Duda Paiva Company are working together again! This coming Christmas vacation, Holland Opera will play Bremer Street Musicians together with the dancers and puppeteers of Duda Paiva Company.
A retired donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion, and a cat that sings. Together, these four animals form a colorful troupe. In the eyes of people, the animals are too old or no longer fit for their jobs. Full of energy, they throw themselves into a musical adventure.
Holland Opera produces an annual family show that can be seen during the Christmas break at the Veerensmederij in Amersfoort. Holland Opera has also gained name recognition thanks to its location-based operas in and around Utrecht. Recent production titles include: *Odiezee*, *Koekjes*, and *Roodhapje*.

Activities
Holland Opera stages an average of four productions per season: a touring youth opera for the main auditorium, a Christmas show for the whole family at the Veerensmederij in Amersfoort, a “Proeve” in which emerging artists explore the youth opera genre, and (contemporary) timeless opera at unique venues such as forts, factories, museums, and parking garages.
Per season, 100 performances are performed for 25,000 visitors. Holland Opera focuses emphatically on youth, giving children from diverse backgrounds access to opera and music. These performances connect and enthuse through active educational projects, and are primarily conceived from the experiences of children and young people.
