DUTCH NATIONAL OPERA AND BALLET presents De Madrigalen.
In spring 2017 4 upcoming artists of the Amsterdam South East region were invited by the committee of the Dutch National Opera and Ballet to show their work during the enactment of Madrigals.
For this 2017 version of Monteverdi's opera The National Opera & Ballet's decor-and-costume atelier functioned as stage. Two halls were refurbished for the enactment and lobby. Aileen had the privilege to finish her large piece at location.
Participating artists:
Mick la Rock – visual artist / muralist
Auke Vanderhoek - photographer
Loidys Carnero – furniture designer / visual artist
Raquel van Haver – visual artist / painter
