About The Netherlands Opera
De Opera was founded after World War II. The company successfully toured through the Netherlands, but mostly in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and Utrecht. In 1964 the Opera changed its name to De Nederlandse Opera Stichting (The Netherlands Opera Foundation). Also, the character of the company changed: for every production a new artistic team is hired, as well as new soloists.
