We’ll never let you down
Cellist Doris Hochscheid created a new opera in collaboration with pianist Frans van Ruth, baritone Mattijs van de Woerd and OT rotterdam’s artistic directors Mirjam Koen and Gerrit Timmers. The music was written by René Samson, Mathilde Wantenaar and Max Knigge.
It examines Jacqueline du Pré’s incredible musical talent, her multiple sclerosis, public opinion and fake news. But, above all, it addresses the indignation and powerlessness of those she loved, who stood by her until her last moments.
Also on Friday October 3oth.
