Why they support Dutch National Opera
Anneke van Heertum

"Visiting performances of Dutch National Ballet is always a pleasure. I enjoy the diversity from classical to contemporary ballets. And I have great respect for the artistic courage to take new creative paths, in which high quality is always leading. That's why I've been a (Golden) Friend for 30 years."

- Anneke van Heertum
Christiaan Roselaar & Nelleke Boosman

"In itself, ballet is such a beautiful art form. But performed at the top level of Dutch National Ballet, it is downright balm for the soul; an incredible source of inspiration that deserves to be supported!"

- Christiaan Roselaar & Nelleke Boosman
Catrina van der Kroon

“Dutch National Ballet: an icon in the dance world, with a repertoire of both classical and, often surprising, modern pieces and a springboard for young dancers! As a Friend, I therefore wholeheartedly support Dutch National Ballet. ”
