Grenzeloze Passie met Harriet Krijgh

It is hard to imagine a more passionate opening to the musical season.

The happiness of the madly in love Romeo and Juliet is disrupted by a centuries-old and bloody family vendetta and leads to a dramatic end during the most beautiful ballet music by Sergei Prokofiev.

In 'Liebestod' Jeanette van Schaik also sings about the ultimate love, this time that of Isolde for Tristan, during the final culmination of Wagner's famous opera.

At the heart of the programme, Harriet Krijgh celebrates lyricism and love on her 18th-century Montagnana cello from Venice during Saint-Saëns' first cello concerto.
