Event  Music
The Royal Netherlands Marine Band, together with Carel Kraayenhof (bandoneon), presents a musical tribute to a special and moving moment in recent Dutch history. On February 2, 2002, Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Máxima Zorreguieta exchanged vows, a day that many still remember vividly. Central to this program is that one unforgettable moment: the emotional performance of Adiós Nonino, during which the world witnessed the famous “royal tear.” Together with Carel Kraayenhof, the Marine Band returns to this intense memory and brings this moment back to life.

But Silver Tears is more than a look back. It is a musical journey through 25 years of connection, love, and shared history of the royal couple, from that one moving beginning to the present. In a rich and varied program, memories are set to music and emotions are made palpable anew.

Let yourself be carried away by the fantastic sounds of the Royal Netherlands Marine Band and the penetrating voice of the bandoneon, and experience how music connects past and present, in a story that continues to this day.

Ricky Koole – Rare Leeftijd

Ricky gaat solo. Maar nu echt. Zonder muzikanten. Wel met een gitaar natuurlijk. Ze heeft geen idee waarom maar ze is onrustig. Heeft last van een rommelige kaaklijn, van mensen die te zacht praten, van kiwi’s uit Nieuw Zeeland, van te lang in en uit ademen met yoga en ze blijkt soms hardop te denken. Ze vertelt over haar puberzoon die niet meer op haar zit te wachten terwijl haar ouders juist steeds meer aandacht vragen. Ondertussen weet ze niet of ze nog wel kan flirten met jongere mannen omdat ze niet zeker weet of ze oud is of niet. Ze denkt van wel.

Piaf by Suzan Seegers – A new Dutch musical about the life and death of a legend

A new Dutch musical about the life and death of a legend. After a life full of drink, drugs, and men, one of France's greatest artists passed away 60 years ago: Edith Piaf. Now, long after her death, her songs are still listened to and sung all over the world. Songs like 'Non, Je ne regrette rien', 'La Vie En Rose', 'Milord', and 'Padam' are just a few immortal examples from an impressive repertoire of songs. This production is about the life and death of 'the little sparrow'. Through stories and her unforgettable music, the phenomenal Piaf relives various important moments of her life. She discovers who she was and finds out what it is she leaves behind.
