The Dutch Reisopera, in collaboration with Club Guy & Roni and the North Netherlands Orchestra, presents the opera *Waiting for the Barbarians*—a spectacular theatrical extravaganza in which singers, dancers, and a massive orchestra perform this late masterpiece by the most important living classical composer, Philip Glass, as the kickoff event for the international celebration of “Glass at 90.”
Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel by J.M. Coetzee, Waiting for the Barbarians focuses on the essential theme of our time: “us” and “them.” Featuring Nora Monsecour and the dancers of Poetics Disaster (Club Guy & Roni), the Consensus Vocalis choir, and a top-tier international cast—including Swedish star mezzo-soprano Charlotte Hellekant and Dutch soprano Lilian Farahani—this promises to be a stunning theatrical experience that will linger in the memory for a long time to come.
Tickets: From € 23,00
