Information:

Anne and Zef - opera with live piano

The past is never dead. It's not even past. This is about you. This is about us.


This opera made especially for school, tells the story of 15-year-old Jewish Anne who meets the equally old Muslim Zef in the afterlife. The two teenagers, from a completely different generation and culture, one murdered by an all-destroying wave of anti-Semitism, the other by religious fanaticism, share their dreams and fears.
With the creation of Anne & Zef, Opera Spanga builds a new memory of the history of hatred and intolerance that led to World War II. At the same time, it juxtaposes this history with the cultural phenomenon of blood vengeance.

Anne: Mireille Bittar (soprano)
Zef:      Koen Masteling (Tenor)
