In their new programme ‘Opera meets the Blues’, the Trio Peter Beets partners with two of the world’s top classical musicians. Singly and together, soprano Judith van Wanroij and mezzo-soprano Hetty Jansen take on the challenge of singing the most melodious works for opera, accompanied by the sensational, swinging sound of one of the Netherlands’ leading jazz trios. Famous compositions by Saint-Saëns, Fauré, Poulenc and others are transformed into vehicles for jazz and blues improvisations, giving them a new lease on life while still paying due to time-honoured tradition. With a swing in its step, opera is recast in a must-see performance, refreshingly and tastefully arranged by pianist and composer Peter Beets.
