Making of ‘After Life’
To get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a contemporary opera, you can follow a four-episode video documentary online. Various aspects of the making of ‘After Life’, including film shoots, stage technique, interviews with the cast and an inside look at the opera’s high-tech multimedia will be presented each Friday for the next four weeks on momentvanjeleven.nl and vanderaa.net
Michel van der Aa (Netherlands, 1970) is one of Europe’s most sought-after composers today. For Van der Aa, music is more than organized sound or a structuring of notes. His music has expressive power, combining sounds and scenic images in a play of changing perspectives. Van der Aa’s recent stage works show a successful involvement as a film and stage director as well as composer.
