De toerist (the tourist)

In honour of the 25th anniversary of the Schiermonnikoog Festival, the new mixed-media chamber opera De toerist (The tourist) will premiere during the 15th spring festival. In this contemporary opera, composer Camiel Jansen and writer Fien Veldman explore the tense relationship between islanders and tourists: a microcosm of larger themes such as housing shortages, gentrification and cultural identity.  

Based on conversations with residents, De toerist weaves recognisable observations with local folk tales into a tragicomic and moving portrait of an island in transition. 

Please note: the libretto is in Dutch.
