After their successful show ‘Bij twijfel hard zingen’, Francis van Broekhuizen and Gregor Bak return to Muziekgebouw Eindhoven with a brand-new performance: ‘Schandalig mooie opera!’ Do you know the famous story about Tosca’s fall and the trampoline? Did you know that Rigoletto’s hump sometimes droops all the way down to the singer’s behind? In this performance, Francis delves into famous anecdotes and scandals from the world of opera. What really happens behind the scenes? Are the stories about difficult opera divas true? A musical, humorous, and enlightening evening filled with beautiful music by composers such as Verdi, Puccini, and Mozart.
“Francis van Broekhuizen charmingly brings 400 years of opera together” – Theaterkrant.
“Why is opera still so elitist, I wonder again? With Van Broekhuizen, opera is folk art that never becomes tacky. Bravo!” – ★ ★ ★ ★ Scènes
