HOLLAND OPERA: OPERA VOOR DE TOEKOMST
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 discarded donkey playing double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals collectively form a motley crew. In their eyes, the animals are too old or no longer fit to do their jobs. Full of energy, they throw themselves into a musical adventure.
Holland Opera produces an annual family performance that can be seen during the Christmas vacations at the Veerensmederij in Amersfoort. Holland Opera also has name recognition thanks to its location operas in and around Utrecht. Recent performance titles include: Odiezee, Koekjes and Roodhapje.

Activities
Holland Opera performs an average of four productions per season: a traveling youth opera for the center stage, a Christmas performance for the entire family in the Amersfoort Veerensmederij, a Prove in which new creators explore the youth opera genre, and (lifeless) opera at unusual locations 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.
