Carmen – The Hopelezz Edition IJ-Salon

‘I want Carmen to be performed at my gravesite,’ composer Henriëtte Bosmans wrote. In this IJ-Salon, the musicians of the IJ-Salon and the drag queens of House of Hopelezz and House of Løstbois fulfil her wish and pay tribute to one of the most extraordinary Dutch musicians of the 20th century in the Muziekegebouw on 9 March. Bosmans identified herself with the fearless heroine of Bizet’s opera, who didn’t care about conventions and remained true to herself until her death.
