Hij is bekend als schrijver van comedyseries, zoals SamSam en Het zonnetje in huis, en als presentator van het satirische tv-programma Dit was het nieuws. Maar tijdens de jeugd van Harm Edens (59) viel er weinig te lachen. ‘Al klapt het hele land voor je, als je ouders dat niet doen, blijft dat een gemis.’ De ‘intelligente lockdown’ was vorig…
Some stories are too big to tell. Too big, but no less important or true for that. Like the story of the millions of Africans who died in World War I in the service of the warring factions there: Britain, France, Italy and Germany. No one knew that last story. At least, nobody I knew knew about it, and neither did I myself. It...
So you can get too close to a work of art. I don't even know if it really applies to paintings, that toxic fumes can rise from them, as some claim, but it certainly applies to theatre art. During the opening of the Holland Festival 2016, I was sitting in the front row of the Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg. Normally already not the best place for those who want to keep a bit of an overview of what is happening on stage.

Yep, ik loop achter, want zag zojuist (in delen) eindelijk het Koninsdagconcert! Maar hee, goeie muziek kent geen houdbaarheidsdatum en voorlopig staat dit concert nog wel even online. Wat een feest zeg! Een aantal van mijn favoriete muzikanten deed mee. Trouwe lezers van Cultuurpers weten dat violist en componist Oene van Geel daar zeker toe behoort. Hij bracht Zapp4 mee…

Onze koning staat nog niet bekend als een liefhebber van cultuur van de minder hapklare soort. Het soort voorstellingen, zoals de opera Quartett, waarmee het Holland Festival op 1 juni opende. Het was dus wellicht even afzien voor hem, zijn

Opera, which started as a youth opera festival, opera nowadays turns out to be suitable for young people too, a more adult name is appropriate: Holland Opera.
