Harking back to opera’s beginnings as courtly entertainment in Italy, the annual Opera in the Garden performances at Museum van Loon are a beautiful experience, matching the grandeur of the canal house garden with fantastic music. All in all, it’s the perfect reminder of just how special outdoor concerts can be. In the summer of 2013, performances will run from 21 to 25 August.English operaIt’s the tenth year that Opera in the Garden is taking place, and this time it will be focussed on Sir William Turner Walton’s one-act opera The Bear. This classical Vaudevillian piece was based on Chekhov’s play of the same name and was premiered in England in 1967. The Opera in the Garden programme is part of Grachtenfestival 2013.
