“Art is not, after all, a pretty add-on – it is the umbilical cord which connects us to the divine; it guarantees our identity as humans.”

Works from George Frideric Handel to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart up to the 20th century
The Dutch mezzo-soprano Olivia Vermeulen is one of the most versatile artists of her time, far beyond historically informed performance practice. She is a familiar face to our audiences as a regular soloist in concerts with René Jacobs. In 2024, she sang La Musica in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo with dignity and color, and a few months ago she brought dramatic depth to the role of Idamante in Mozart's Idomeneo. Both times, she received rapturous acclaim from audiences in Freiburg and Berlin.
She also recently received a lot of press attention with her album Dirty Minds, which features songs by Kurt Weill, Alban Berg, Hugo Wolf and others.
All this is reason enough for the FBO to present the 2025 New Year's Eve concert with Olivia Vermeulen. With a colorful, epoch-spanning program ranging from George Frideric Handel and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to the 20th century, the mezzo-soprano can impressively demonstrate her stylistic range, while the FBO showcases its modern side.
