Opera by leading electronic music creatives

Opera Forward Festival and Dekmantel are partnering to organise an evening in which leading creatives in electronic music experiment with opera. Dekmantel, which was founded in 2013, is the crucible for electronic music such as house, dance and techno. Their annual summer festival showcases the top artistes in these genres, both up-and-coming talents and established names. During the OFF evening programme, three leading artistes from the Dekmantel network will combine opera and electronic music in groundbreaking performances.

Electronic music meets opera

Specially for the Opera Forward Festival, three creatives from the Dekmantel network have been invited to let their creativity loose on the genre of opera. As DJs and producers, they perform in Europe’s top clubs and venues, sweeping everyone in the room up in their music. Now OFF is giving them the opportunity to show another side to their artistry. They are being asked to channel their inner composer to draw inspiration for example from a beautiful aria from the operatic repertoire, or the interplay between voice and breath. Their encounters with singers and instrumentalists from the world of opera and classical music enable a creative exchange between the various art forms. The result is a thrilling evening featuring three unique performances — the perfect event to get you in the mood before hitting Amsterdam’s clubs.
