On October 3 and 4, 2025, mezzo-soprano Maria Warenberg - a finalist in the world-famous Queen Elizabeth Competition in 2023 - will sing with "her" Residentie Orkest during A Night at the Opera. Maria pretty much grew up with the Residentie Orkest; her father was Associate concertmaster for many years. "Of course I always came to the rehearsals with my little brother, because on Wednesday afternoons we were free and then my father always took us to the rehearsals. And then we sat there in the hall and then you hear the most beautiful music. I found that so inspiring and so impressive as a child."
