Misjel Vermeiren

Recorded at the Musiektheater, Amsterdam on 21 & 25 January 2008. Performed by De Nederlandse Opera, composer Jean-Philippe Rameau's renowned tragedy "Castor et Pollux" tells the myth-based story of the selfless love between two brothers: Castor, who is mortal, and the immortal Pollux. When Castor dies trying to prevent the kidnapping of the woman he loves, Pollux decides to become mortal and replace his brother in the Underworld. Finnur Bjarnason, Henk Neven and Anna Maria Panzarella star.

Opera lies at the heart of Rimsky-Korsakov's colourful idiom, but performances are few and far between; this realisation of his penultimate and grandest stage work is a very rare and special experience. Kitezh is known as "the Russian Parsifal", which encapsulates its mystical flavour and steady unfolding of a legend of redemption

The Dutch comedian Peter Pannekoek looks back on 2021 with his dark humour. An ode to the consistent corona policy of the Dutch cabinet, the selflessness of Sywert van Lienden and the greatness of Lil 'Kleine.

The Dutch comedian Claudia de Breij looks back on the year 2022.

A visually stunning paean to spiritual pilgrimage that creates a world of intense reverence, distinctly Asian in its imagery. Set to Georgian folksongs with 3½ tons of shimmering golden grains of rice.

With music and stories, Claudia de Breij paints a portrait that blends domestic details with global news: being kind, wanting to be seen, overstimulation, abstinence, dictators, and restaurant tunes.

Registration of the theatre program by the Dutch comedian Herman Finkers. After 7 years of silence Herman Finkers returns back on stage to merge humor and seriousness and shows a disease can actually change a person.

After a siege of ten years, the Greeks leave Troy. A giant wooden horse has been left on the beach. Despite Cassandra's dark premonitions, the offering is borne into the city...Pierre Audi directs Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek and American tenor Bryan Hymel in this epic Berlioz's opera, that requires an omnipresent chorus, a huge orchestra and a great virtuosity from the solists.

In Guy Joosten's ingenious production of Bellini's masterpiece, Norma is about more than just beautiful singing. It becomes a layered, timeless drama in which Norma is the archetypal successful woman struggling to retain her dominant but vulnerable position. Hasmik Papian's lyrical and intense interpretation of the title role accentuates the striking similarity between a Druid high priestess and a modern opera diva. Conductor Julian Reynolds guides the brilliant cast, choir and Netherlands Chamber Orchestra to great heights, providing a refreshing new take on the chef d’oeuvre of bel canto.

Television registration of the eponymous performance by the Dutch comedian Claudia de Breij. Based on the life story of revue artist Heintje Davids, De Breij sings, dances and tells about a little girl who was told by her father that she was 'too fat and ugly' for the stage. Later, when she had long conquered that stage, there were people who decided that people like Heintje were too Jewish to be allowed to be there. But whoever stopped her, whatever happened: Heintje was there, and she always came back.
