The Impossible Dream (BOM 2022)

21 December ’22 > 21 December ’22

Info

Samen met buurtbewoners creëert Opera Zuid een inkijkje in het leven en de verhalen van mensen in Maastricht, met de wijk Malpertuis als thuisbasis. Hun verhalen, persoonlijke anekdotes en muziek worden samengebracht tot de muziek-theatrale Buurt Opera Malpertuis (BOM).

The Impossible Dream Everyone has dreams and wishes in their life. So are the residents of Malpertuis and other districts of Maastricht. However, they realized that not all their dreams would come true. No money, debts, being born in the wrong time, too old, ailing health, wrong background or victim of things that the dogs don’t like. In short, all things that have come their way and thwarted their dreams.

But these locals don’t give up! They don’t hang their heads, but relive their dreams and create epic musical theatre. With music by the combative and politically engaged Bertold Brecht, Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler, with forays into other genres. This music is performed by an ensemble with saxophone and percussion students from the Maastricht Conservatory.
