Two masterpieces from the 20th century form an unforgettable double bill that could not be more topical, given its similarities to today’s social and political situation. Kurt Weill’ s Die sieben Todsünden tells the story of sisters Anna 1 and Anna 2, who commit the seven deadly sins in seven cities to save their families. Der Kaiser von Atlantis is a gripping parable about a war machine so destructive that even death refuses to do its job unless the emperor himself is willing to die first. Composer Viktor Ullmann wrote this work in the Theresienstadt concentration camp, but was deported to Auschwitz, where he was murdered, before its premiere.
The pieces contain humor and poetry, and encourage self-reflection and a critical view of the society in which we live. These productions, performed by the talented young artists of the Dutch National Opera Academy, are accompanied by the Residentie Orkest conducted by conductor Sam Weller. The direction is in the hands of the internationally renowned Floris Visser.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to experience two masterpieces from the twentieth-century opera repertoire in the special setting of the Conservatory Hall in Amare, The Hague.

Based in The Hague, Pi Quartet is a half-American, half-Dutch string quartet dedicated to neo-classical, contemporary, and experimental music. Comprised of Leah Plave (cello), Lidwine Dam (viola), Leslee Smucker (violin), and Hoei Lien The (violin), the group formed out of a shared passion for multidisciplinary performance and a curiosity for music beyond the traditional string quartet canon. The name Pi, referencing the mathematical symbol π, symbolizes unity, harmony, and infinite potential—as well as the quartet’s sensitivity to space and context in performance.

What: Jimding plays Café de Stamboom
When: Sunday, May 18, 16:30 – 19:30
Where: Café de Stamboom, Eikstraat 1, Den Haag
The Haagse trio Jimding brings its eclectic mix of blues, roots, and Americana to Café de Stamboom, one of The Hague’s finest live music venues.
Jimding brings together three old souls who’ve paid their dues — blues growler Jim Wake on lead vocals, guitar and blues harp, with Nico Hart on bass, and John den Exter on percussion. In an extensive repertoire of originals that somehow seem familiar, Jimding ponders love and loss, trial and error, betrayal and abandonment, the sublime and the ridiculous, and good times and bad with a mix of irony, exasperation, and an appreciation for the absurdities of life.
A tribute to Bob Marley’s 1975 live album featuring the iconic version of “No Woman No Cry.” In 2004, the authoritative American magazine Rolling Stone ranked the song at number 37 on their list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. This May, it will be performed by Rootsriders featuring Mo Ali!
Rootsriders were originally formed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Bob Marley’s passing, and over the years, the band has become a staple in the Dutch live music scene. Former members include well-known singers Giovanca Ostiana and Shirma Rouse, as well as former The Voice runner-up Mitchell Brunings, whose blind audition of—of course—a Marley song went viral worldwide. The current singer, Mo Ali, was discovered in Sudan through social media, as is common nowadays.
On 24 May, we sing the sounds of spring – Nordic melodies, lullabies, and poems set to music.
Let the music lead you into a landscape of sound – songs that drift like mist, bloom like light through leaves, and carry stories of love, loss, longing and change.
