Those first people

National Opera & Ballet

The first two humans on Earth fell in love. The third human murdered the fourth. Die ersten Menschen tells the story of the first family in the Biblical history of humanity, Adahm, Chawa and their two sons Kajin and Chabel. After performances in the midst of the COVID pandemic, which were highly praised by public and press alike, this ‘rediscovered’ work by Rudi Stephan is now returning to Dutch National Opera in all its glory.

Die ersten Menschen

To save himself from a fatal storm, King Idomeneo promises the god Neptune that he will kill the first human he encounters. Unfortunately, that turns out to be his son Idamante. The king becomes torn between fatherly love and his promise to the gods. This fateful dilemma is central to Mozart's masterpiece.
