A woman, mother and outcast needs to make life choices in a hostile environment.

Mohammed Fairouz’s second opera, The New Prince, premiered in Amsterdam, is directed by Lotte de Beer as a colourful, dizzyingly fast-paced  revue.

At the Grachtenfestival in Amsterdam, director Lotte de Beer presents a trendy and upbeat take on Traviata, unfortunately marred by a dumbed-down arrangement of Verdi’s music.
