Plastic Party!

Once, almost every housewife dealt with this phenomenon: You organized a party focused on plastic kitchenware and received a gift that was as handy as it was indestructible. Microwave-safe egg holders, freshness boxes, wonder boxes with breathable lids.

Objects that will continue to inhabit kitchen cabinets for ages. But in today's disposable society, there is no place for indestructibility. Time seems to have caught up with the iconic plastic kitchen items, and the Plastic Party could very well be the last bash… Does this also mean the end of everything the Plastic Party stood for? An end to sustainability? To the economic emancipation of the housewife? Can we even imagine a world without all this kitchen plastic?

Plastic Party! is an accessible and cheerful opera about the end of a socio-cultural ritual. David Prins wrote the brand new libretto with music from Mozart's equally beautiful and indestructible operas Così Fan Tutte, Don Giovanni, and Le Nozze di Figaro, performed in the Dutch language. Soprano Klaartje van Veldhoven, Renée Bekkers (accordion), and baritone Mattijs van de Woerd form the core of this young collective. Together with Michaela Riener (mezzo) and Charles Watt on cello, they present an “indestructible piece of music in a high-quality performance, combined with earthy, at times slapstick-like comedy.” It is the irresistible formula of this collective.

The NRC has already awarded their performances the maximum number of stars. It’s party time! Come celebrate at Markant Theater Maashorst while you still can…
