SURPRISE Comes to the Holland Opera This Summer
Performances run 10 September - 4 October.
SUPRISE will come to the Netherlands this year. Performances run 10 September - 4 October. Ticket sales will begin on March 12. A musical evening that grates and touches. A cinematic family epic from the creators of "Divorce of Figaro," "The Flying Dutchman," and "Cherry Orchard."
Anna returns to the family home after many years. There's singing, filming, and toasting. What begins as a surprise party transforms into a confrontational family drama about love, jealousy, and the right to determine your own life. Old tensions flare up, secrets come to light, and the line between celebration and tragedy blurs.
