★★★★ Volkskrant: 'Two years ago, Holland Opera and Duda Paiva performed the fantastic children's opera Reinaert de V.'

'This year, the same team is back with the Bremer Straatmuzikanten (Bremer Street Musicians). This modern opera adaptation is also infectious and accessible. It's one to watch with your mouth open'

National tour in spring 2026

"Feest" (Suprise) is a new, cinematic 'Scandit-thriller' opera in which live music and video merge into a compelling theatrical performance.

Anna returns to the family home after many years. There's singing, filming, and toasting. What begins as a surprise party transforms into a confrontational family drama about love, jealousy, and the right to determine your own life. Old tensions flare up, secrets come to light, and the line between celebration and tragedy blurs.

A musical evening that grates and touches. A cinematic family epic from the creators of "Divorce of Figaro," "The Flying Dutchman," and "Cherry Orchard."

Summer 2026 (ticket sales starts March 1st)

Holland Opera in co-production with New European Ensemble & Cat Smits Company.

Pinocchio, like any child, starts as a blank slate – in her case, as a blank block of wood. But she has barely grown legs when she abandons her father Geppetto and runs into seven ditches at once. Mrs. Kats, Mr. Fox and Mr. van Wezel become her friends and have beautiful, catchy stories. But can she trust these friends? She always has to choose: have fun and live a lazy life or be sensible and work hard? Tell a nice story or tell the ugly truth?

Coming up next season.
