Intro

In the Summer of 2013, Opera Spanga brings Romeo en Julia or paradise waits under your mums feet. Spanga participates in this production with Fries Youth Harmony Orchestra.

Fries Youth Harmony Orchestra (part of Keunstwurk) has not just a musical feature part in this production, but also plays a part in the opera as such. The libretto is base don Shakespeare's play, while the music is 'decomposed' after Berlioz, Bellini, Gounod, Rota, Bernstein, Tchaikovsky and Prokofjev. 'New maestro' Floris van Bergeijk composed new music insired by the old masterpieces, a technique he previously employed in, among others, Donna Giovanna after Mozart. Opera Spanga has peviously worked with Fries Youth Harmony Orchestra arranger/conductor Thijs Oud bij Carmen in Delfzijl.

Impossible love entangled in a whirlpool of family feuds, cultural and religious differences has been a theme in stoies of all time. The Romeo and Julia text has inspired numerous authors since it was first conceived, and then it also inspired classical composers, jazz- and popmusicians, artists and movie makers. Spanga's Romeo and Julia has been situated in our own time, with a background of multicultural love between old and new Dutch inhabitants. Tensions arrise from ignorance. Cultural differences and intolerance make these tensions culminate in unbridgeable gaps, to the point where, as in Shakespare, people fall victim: on and one, same orchestra seats become vacant, the orchestral sound thins out decideldly toward the end.
