Performance opportunities

Throughout the year DNOA presents a rich programme of public performances which include fully staged productions, programmes of staged scenes and concerts. These serve as both a platform where the singers can develop their profile with the public and opera sector and a practical way by which to acquire and polish a broad and useful repertoire.

Several prominent Dutch orchestras and ensembles play an important role in performance opportunities created by the Academy. In addition to a long-standing relationship with the Residentie Orkest, which co-produces fully staged operas with the DNOA each year, regular partners include the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra for annual performances at the Bredeweg Festival Amsterdam and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century.

The DNOA also maintains close ties with both the Dutch National Opera, the Nederlandse Reisopera, Opera Zuid, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen and the Royal Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

In addition to the above, the DNOA collaborates regularly with the conductors of the NMO (Nationale Master Orkestdirectie) and performs regularly with ensembles from both the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, as is the case with this year’s production of Conrad Susa’s Transformations which is a collaboration with the Classical Department of the Royal Conservatoire The Hague.

In addition to the above, the DNOA collaborates regularly with the conductors of the NMO (Nationale Master Orkestdirectie) and performs regularly with ensembles from both the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and the Royal Conservatoire The Hague, as is the case with this year’s production of Carl Heinrich Graun’s Cleopatra e Cesare which is a collaboration with the Early Music Departments of both institutions.
