Orphée aux Enfers nominated for De Ovatie 2023

Opera Zuid has been nominated for the VSCD Classical Music Prize De Ovatie 2023 with Orphée aux Enfers. De Ovatie is awarded to musicians who have delivered an exceptional stage performance and thus made a significant contribution to Dutch classical music life.

The jury report states:

“In the production Orphée aux Enfers, Opera Zuid was colourful, witty, playful, funny and sometimes deliciously grotesque, without exaggerating. […] Opera Zuid has produced something that the south of the country can really be proud of. It is an optimistic, comical, homely cosy way of making opera that you don’t see in the rest of the country.”

The winner of the award De Ovatie will be suprised in December.
