Floris Kortie is volwassen geworden. De vrolijkste krullenbol van de klassieke-muzieksector heeft in 2024 bewezen dat hij Podium Klassiek in zijn eentje kan dragen. Dat hij de voortzetting van Podium Witteman, waar hij als het pientere neefje mocht freewheelen, door een diepe crisis heeft weten te krijgen, siert hem. Na het vertrek van Mike Boddé, die naar eigen zeggen meer… 

Dramaturges out the door at ITA. Trend or vulgar industrial dispute?

Is een dramaturg waardevoller dan een pr-medewerker? Volgens Eline Arbo, sinds dit jaar artistiek leider van het zwaar gehavende Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, niet. Zij praat over ‘de lange lijnen van het gezelschap’ net zo lief met communicatiemedewerkers. Mensen die hun leven in dienst stellen van de bestudering van het repertoire, de psychologie van de regisseur en de tijdgeest weten immers…

Alum makes final Greek exam a celebration, thanks to Antigone

Theater heeft alles met taal te maken. En niets, natuurlijk, maar dankzij Aluins versie van Antigone wil ik een lans breken voor het ‘alles’. Omdat taal veel bepalender is voor beeld dan andersom. Verwarrend? Jawel. Gelukkig maar.  Aluins Antigone, of liever gezegd, de bewerking door Erik Snel van de vertaling door Gerard Koolschijn van het stuk dat de Griek Sofokles…

Culture Council still dissatisfied with Reisopera and LKCA plans 

"LKCA only partially meets the first condition: providing insight into the activities to be undertaken for the 2025-2028 grant period. The requested planning and budget are missing. The addendum gives a picture of which activities will be divested, but only partly clarifies how these activities will be secured elsewhere and how the acquired knowledge will be safeguarded." The... 

Something is shining in the north thanks to Explore The North

Make more music yourself! (What I learnt from November Music 2024)

When I think of new music, I have never thought of fun. Rather, you think of seriousness, subtlety, taste to be acquired and listening experiences that you might later find ordinary. But not yet. So this year during November Music, I did laugh a lot. Not roaring (an occasional one), but simply, with happiness. While in the world...

Laura Bowler wrote Advert: on the tattoo as the ultimate expression of your own power
