Performances from 20 December 2024 at the Veerensmederij in Amersfoort, exact dates to follow
Information:
In winter 2024/2025, Holland Opera will present a new family opera called ‘Koekjes’. Full information about this performance will be here soon.
'Koekjes is a story about two girls in a cynical business world, with calculating adults and absent parents. A painful story loosely based on 'Hansel and Gretel'. In this fairy tale, Annet Schaap adds a hefty number of characters. The parents of the schoolchildren seem to have stepped out of the dutch TV series 'Lice Mothers'. The highlight is undoubtedly the three radiant, baking 'Dear Mothers' who cleverly use social media to sell their biscuits to the public (or rather 'the child'). That you will get a craving for a biscuit yourself during the performance is certain.
