In collaboration with Holland Opera, the Mondriaanhuis presents the trunk opera in the autumn holidays, on Monday 16 October Muse of Mondrian. In the museum ambience of the Mondrian House, an artist and art dealer battle over their lost muse. Both are looking for Laura. They want Laura to choose one of them but she doesn't. She leaves...
The men are left in despair, what to do?
Muse of Mondrian is a suitcase opera about the search for inspiration and the quest for a lost muse set to music by Russian composer Moussorgsky. A very special event where music and visual arts come together.
Modest Petrovich Moussorgsky lived from 1839 to 1881. He composed 'The Pictures at an Exhibition' for piano. The work became best known in Maurice Ravel's orchestral version of it. Holland Opera made a chamber opera of it.
A visit to the museum can be made after the opera.
