  On 19^th of May, in the decor of L’elisir d’amore, the three opera houses signed a covenant in which agreements were made about working together to support young opera talent. It is the first time that the three companies have so explicitly expressed the ambition to work together.

  All houses consider it an important part of their mission to enable artistic opera talent to develop further. The three houses are therefore joining forces and using their resources and experience for a long-term collaborative program aimed at talent development in the Dutch opera and music theater.

  The tangible result of the collaboration will be an annual co-production with the three companies, which will be promoted nationally through a tour.
