MC van de Rovaart: Liefde (1895 Opera vd Maand)
In Liefde (Love) Marinus Cornelis van de Rovaart proves himself to be a composer of cery tuneful music with influences of folk song, operette and opéra comique. In the song from Love, 'Hoort een krijger staat voor de deur' (Hear this warrior, he stands before the door), a soldier asks a girl if he can come in, since he has to go to war and is not sure if he will come back. This lovely aria was performed at 401Concerts 10, together with an excerpt from Van de Rovaart's opera Der verwunschene Prinz. Soloists are Heldentenor Hendrik Vonk, soprano Barbara Schilstra and pianist Wolter Willemsen
Gerard von Brucken Fock: Jozal (Opera o/t Month)
Gerard von Brucken Fock was one of the most remarkable composers that ever graced the Netherlands. He is best known for his wonderful piano music and his songs, but his true master piece is the unperformed opera Jozal from 1912. It is both unique and extreme in text and music, it is a mesmerizing, bewildering and highly individual opera. On Saturday November 18 highlights of Jozal were performed by Heldentenor Hendrik Vonk, soprano Barbara Schilstra, baritone Frits Muusse and pianist Wolter Willemsen. Location: Old Church, Keizerstraat 8, Scheveningen, Netherlands.
