Uprising - Opera Zuid
Uprising is about young people rising up for climate action and for change, and their plea for a better world. The opera tells the story of a mother and daughter who are diametrically opposed, and shows how tensions in society play out in personal relationships. It is a deeply human story about listening, clashing and living together.
Directed by Gable Roelofsen and Romy Roelofsen, Uprising becomes a collective experience. A choir of a hundred community singers and six professional soloists together form a mini-society on stage. Jonathan Dove’s music is grand, lyrical and direct in its emotional power. The powerful choral singing and rich orchestral sound make Uprising a captivating opera experience, both in the auditorium and on stage.
Uprising invites conversation, touches head and heart alike and lets the power of the voice be heard!
