The opera tells the story of a mother (Ingeborg Br\u00f6cheler) and daughter (Madeline Saputra) who find themselves diametrically opposed, and explores how tensions in society can play out in our personal relationships. It is a deeply human story about listening, clashing and living together, wrapped in an overwhelming richness of music and performed by Philzuid, a community choir of around 100 singers and five professional soloists. <em>Uprising<\/em> premieres on 13 November at Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SOWING WISHES TOGETHER\n<\/strong>A community opera means that the community takes part in the opera. That is why we want to do this together! In this way, we bring opera a little closer to our immediate neighbours, while sowing wishes for our world and nurturing our sense of connection with one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is your biggest wish?<br \/>\nDuring the Week of Encounter, on 30 September at 4.00 pm, we will be sowing wishes.
