Kindermuziekweek 2025
During the national Kindermuziekweek, from 4 to 13 April 2025, Dutch National Opera & Ballet presents two musical performances, both based on a picture book.
Mr. Coats (4+)
Whether it’s winter or summer, Mr. Coats is always freezing cold. Shivering, he tries and tries to get warm.
Choreographer Wubkje Kuindersma is adapting the touching picture book Mr. Coats by Sieb Posthuma into a ballet for the very youngest audience.
From 12 to 16 April in our theatre, Studio Boekman
Lennox (8+)
Lennox knows that his father suffers from a mysterious illness, but he is not told what exactly is going on. When his father forgets to take his lucky necklace to a hospital appointment one day, Lennox decides to go after him with his best friend.
RIGHTABOUTNOW INC. and Dutch National Opera adapted the book Lennox en de gouden sikkel into an energetic hip-hop opera.
5 April 2025 (2x) in our theatre, Studio Boekman
Lennox can also be seen at Dutch National Opera & Ballet - Studio Boekman from 27 October to 3 November 2024 and will go on tour from 12 January 2025
