Reisopera PosterBoy February 2015

Having rehearsed intensely for nearly 6 weeks with a fantastic cast and staff at Nederlandse Reisopera, Orphée et Eurydice is now up and running. With 3 shows down and 9 to go, we take the stage at the Koninklijk Theater Carré, Amsterdam, tomorrow.  Details available here:
