Love comes in many forms and manifestations: love in friendship, or in romance. Love between a parent/caregiver and child, love for a particular object. It makes sense that the Dutch-Ukrainian Maxim Shalyigin wanted to incorporate that enormous theme into his music for this chamber opera. Because opera traditionally goes in all directions. Four singers take us along in ‘Symposium’: one of philosopher Plato’s most famous written conversations. But he adds an act of love himself: because even the characters who were not given a voice in the conversation, are given a voice by Maxim. Even if you’ve never been into opera, this is simply a beautiful musical trip. If you are still not convinced, we quote the NRC about the premiere: “An unforgettable experience”.
