Reviews

Last Saturday, in two performances, the Orchestre des Pays de Savoie opened the big book of classical music with a festive programme ending with the power of Strauss. It was consistent, perfectly linked from one score to the next, delicately performed by high-level musicians and a new direction that will certainly take the OPS towards a prosperous and bright horizon.
— Yannick Perrin, Le Dauphiné Libéré.
The pleasantly, brightly playing Residentie Orkest conducted by Pieter-Jelle de Boer.
— Theaterkrant
An important part of the drama comes from the orchestra pit, where conductor Pieter-Jelle de Boer, making his debut with Opera Zuid, leads the Philharmonie Zuidnederland with a steady hand through Massenet’s never exuberant, but tasteful and high-contrast score, bringing glow, colour and warmth to it.
— De Volkskrant
Under the conductor Pieter-Jelle de Boer, an excellent playing philharmonie zuidnederland appears to be the ideal gauge for the emotional temperature of the characters. From an idyllic glow and folk dancing pit in the first act, via Wagnerian copper echoes to full-blooded drama at the end
— NRC
De Boer delivered a formidable performance. Here Massenet often sounded at his most dashing and seductive, full of passionate melodies and with a rich harmonic palette. [...] all in all a top achievement of this young Dutch conductor.
