Olli begint een orkest: Rotterdam Philharmonic’s family show
Event
- When:
- Sun, 22. March 2026
- Category:
- Theatre & Cabaret in Rotterdam
Description
Join Olli and the Rotterdam Philharmonic for Olli begint een orkest — a fun, musical family show for kids (4+) on 22 March 2026 at De Doelen.
Based on the picture book Olli begint een orkest by Didi Bok and Hein Mevi, the production is a collaboration between the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra and RAAF muziektheater, featuring Nina Elisa Euson as Olli. The performance combines live orchestral music, theatre and interaction, inviting children to sing, clap and dance along.
The show’s signature tune, Wij zijn een rondreizend orkest, is available online with lyrics and a video so young visitors can rehearse at home before joining in at the performance.
The story follows Olli, the bravest elephant in the Netherlands, as he sets out to become a street musician in the big city. Along the way, he meets other musicians who join him in forming a joyful travelling orchestra. But when the city’s pigeons ban music, Olli and his friends must unite through the universal language of melody and rhythm to restore harmony to the streets.
