Opera and cabaret may appear to be two radically different worlds but nothing could be further from the truth. In Steef’s O. Show, both art forms merge into a variegated revue with enthralling arias, tear-jerking duets, spectacular scenery, and a lot of humour.
Steef’s O. Show is a feast of recognition. Together with a 70-member orchestra and a range of well-known comedians and artists, including the Dutch actor/writer/singer/performer Alex Klaasen, theatre maker Steef de Jong presents famous opera and operetta pieces. From Verdi to soccer anthems and everything in-between. It will be clear to everyone that opera is not as remote or serious as might have been expected.
The introduction of a new genre, ‘opera cabaret’, kicks off a collaboration over many years between O. and Luxor. While O. represents the diversity and approachability of opera, Luxor offers a stage to high-quality cabaret. This fusion is evidence that two grandiose cultural genres can reach a large number of people and be accessible to many.
“Steef de Jong operates somewhere between comedy show, cabaret, revue, and operetta. Charming and entertaining, fascinating and unique.” – Tobias Kokkelmans (dramaturg O. 2021)
The performance will take place during O. on 23 & 24 May 2022 in Luxor Theater Rotterdam. Tickets can now be purchased via Luxor Theater’s website.
