Telling stories with music

On Wednesday afternoons
For children who like to sing and play, Dutch National Opera will be organising a weekly children's chorus on Wednesday afternoons from 5 October 2022. Accompanied by a pianist and a singing and acting teacher, you will work with (contemporary) opera repertoire. As well as existing pieces, we will also be working together on new repertoire: new stories told through music. 

There are two groups: group I for children aged 6 to 8 and group II for children aged 9 to 13. Do you like singing and acting? And are you between 6 and 13 years old? Then sign up for Opera Heroes!

Artistic coordination & musical direction: Hanne van de Vrie 

You can register here for Opera Heroes on Wednesday afternoon
