Restaurant De Goudfazant

Clinking glasses, buzzing, steaming plates, waiters coming and going. Business as usual in restaurant de Goudfazant is what you would think But nothing is what it seems What are all those breadcrumbs doing on the floor? Who is that girl in the red jacket looking for? What big ears that old lady with a walker has! And why is everyone suddenly yawning? Welcome to the wonderful world of this special establishment.

For this fairytale opera, Meeuw-jonge theatermakers work with all her actors together with the sixty singers of the opera choir Amadeus. Four famous fairy tales with young heroes in the leading roles are the common thread in this musical theater production. Live choral music by Offenbach, Rossini, Donizetti and Gershwin, among others, is seamlessly interwoven in scenes in a restaurant where it is certainly not just about food. Eat or be eaten: that seems to be the motto in restaurant De Goudfazant.
