  • "Before the transformation is a fact, enjoy the countless variations on the original."
  • "Wijnstra's music underlines the atmosphere of the scenes excellently, sometimes has something cinematic and is surprised by appropriate folkloric elements. His three-man orchestra (accordion, cello and clarinet) performs miracles."

    REVIEW

    Last summer we played eight sold-out performances of Tjaikovsky's Onegin. We look back on a successful summer, despite storm Polly and the endless rain. Of course, we could never have created this beautiful product without our host Geert, the artistic and production team, the beautiful soloists, the small but powerful choir, the beautiful orchestra led by our musical director Tjalling Wijnstra and the strong dancers of Ivgy&Greben. Thank you all for coming, despite the mud ballet!
