Blue - Behind the scenes

Starting November 7, 2022, Dutch National Opera presents the European premiere of Blue, a contemporary opera that tells the moving story of a black family in America. For the cast this moving story is everyday reality.

Take a look behind the scenes where the singers tell you why Blue is so personal to them. The combination of beautiful singing and this personal story from cast and from director Tazewell Thompson, makes the opera even more poignant.
