The 1994 festival opened with Giuseppe Verdi’s Falstaff, and it would not be this edition’s only opera: Monteverdi’s Orfeo and Schubert’s Winterreise each underwent a current-day adaptation by Bruno Maderna and Hans Zenders, respectively.
Also featured were Chinese operas: not classical Chinese operas, but works by artists like Qu Xiaosong, Lu Pei and Tan Dun. Tan Dun attended the festival not just as a composer, but also as a singer.
It was also theatre innovator Peter Brook’s first visit to the Netherlands with The Man Who, based on the work of psychologist Oliver Sacks.

Welcome!
Welcome to the Holland Festival archive! The history of our festival dates back to 1947. Through the programs of each festival edition we aim to tell this history here. Sadly some information is only available in Dutch but we aim to be as bilingual as possible. For additions or tips send an email to [email protected].
