This opera touches head as well as heart and showcases the power of the voice, in all its forms! Uprising invites conversation.
With Uprising, Opera Zuid, Het Geluid Maastricht and De Nationale Opera present a large-scale community opera that touches on one of the themes of our time: the climate crisis and the conversation about it. On the street, in politics, at the kitchen table, between generations and in the schoolyard.
Uprising is about young people's revolt for climate action, for change and their plea for a better world. The opera tells the story of a diametrically opposed mother and daughter, and shows how social tensions affect personal relationships. It is a deeply human story about listening, clashing and living together.
A collective experience
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. Professionals and amateurs stand side by side: everyone contributes to the story and the image. Romy: "Singing together starts with listening. Where listening is linked to this (climate) theme, it is an example of what a world could be like." Gable: "The social friction thus becomes part of the emotion of the music. Uprising is about that dealing with unrest and inequality."
Grand, lyrical and emotional
Jonathan Dove's music is grand, lyrical and direct in its emotional eloquence. The powerful harmonies and rich orchestral sounds makeUprising an immersive operatic experience, in the auditorium and on stage. Gable: "The energy splashes off the stage."
Uprising is sung and spoken in English, with Dutch and English surtitles.
