Waiting for the Barbarians

A unique opportunity to go to the opera – at a quarter of the normal price!

Waiting for the Barbarians is a spectacular theatrical extravaganza in which singers, dancers and a massive orchestra perform this late masterpiece by the most important living classical composer, Philip Glass.
Based on J.M. Coetzee’s Nobel Prize-winning novel, Waiting for the Barbarians is centered around the topical theme: ‘us’ and ‘them’. Featuring, amongst others, Nora Monsecour and the dancers of Poetics Disaster (Club Guy & Roni), the Consensus Vocalis choir and a top-class international cast including the Swedish star mezzo-soprano Charlotte Hellekant and the Dutch soprano Lilian Farahani. A breathtaking theatrical experience that will stay with you for a long time to come!

The opera will be performed in English with Dutch and English surtitles.
