De Meid De Baas (2012), a production in cooperation with
Museum Van Loon.
The maid rebels against her boss.
They passionately hate each other and eventually fall in love.
But this time it is the woman who is in control.
Feminism-avant-la-lettre in this opera from the 18th century.
All this in a fresh contemporary translation by Alice Zwolschen,
known for translations of Opera Nijetrijne in Friesland.
