Opera in the 20th century

2008: Many productions, but we will mainly make it a Dutch affair. The freedom of modernism is being exploited tremendously, yet there is also a need for some form of (less formalistic) modernism.

• Péter Eötvös- Love and others demons
• Mohammed Fairouz ( foto )- Sumeida’s Song
• Jake Heggie- Three Decembers
