Premiere of Missa in Tempore Belli

Yesterday was the premiere of Missa in Tempore Belli. In this multi-disciplinary production directed by Barbora Horáková you experience what opera is all about; bringing different art-forms together and transforming it into an unforgettable experience. Haydn's music is combined with electronic music created by Janiv Oron. The chorus shares the stage with dancers from Dutch National Ballet guided by choreographer Juanjo Arqués, supported by Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest | Nederlands Kamerorkest and of course led by our new chief-conductor Lorenzo Viotti. There are only 3 performances left, but there are still some tickets available. You do not want to miss this.

“The entire performance, with chorus, orchestra, four soloists, nine dancers and two video artists, is filled with imagination and courage” – Trouw ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Iris van Herpen & Dutch National Ballet

Dance Film

Dutch National Ballet has built up a good reputation in collaborating with fashion brands and fashion designers, such as Victor&Rolf and recently G-Star. In the short film Biomimicry we are now exploring with Iris van Herpen the symbiotic relationship between the metamorphic force in which fashion and dance interlace. The film sees the mesmeric dancer JingJing Mao undulating into liquescent shapes and transcending into graceful figures that reflect her myriad of movements.
