Mariken in the Garden of Earthly Delights

Over Mariken in the Garden of Earthly Delights

• The opera "Mariken in the Garden of Earthly Delights," to music by Calliope Tsoupaki, is based on the miracle play "Mariken van Nieumeghen" (c. 1515). Over five centuries, this old story hasn't lost a bit of its power and is unquestionably part of the canon of Dutch culture. In this opera, we follow the curious but vulnerable Mariken on a journey through a dark world. She encounters intriguing characters, such as a witchlike aunt, a seductive devil, and an inquisitorial pope. The ASKO|Schonberg and the Tetraktys Ensemble are under the musical direction of Hern?n Schvartzman. Main soloists are Hannah Hoekstra (Mariken), Harry van der Kamp (Uncle), Jill Feldman (Aunt), Julian Podger (Moenen), and Michael Chance (Pope). Staged by Serge van Veggel, and directed by Sonia Herman Dolz. Recorded at the Royal Theater in The Hague, in 2015.
