He worked as assistant-director, amongst others, with two well- known Dutch directors Wouter van Praag and Peter Oosthoek and for opera he gained experience at De Nederlandse Opera with Pierre Audi’s production L’Orfeo . As a keen fencer it was a logical step for him to study at the Society of British Fight Directors in London. As a fight director he choreographed fights for all important theatre, film and television companies, for example the Oscar winning movie KARAKTER (1998). Jeroen Lopes Cardozo made his debut as an opera director in 1983 with Benjamin Britten’s church opera Curlew River. This unique production was given on tour in churches throughout Holland. In the year 2000 he directed the same opera, now as an open air production on a Mediaeval square in the South of Holland (Abdijplein, Middelburg). He also founded a professional opera company “De Kleine Opera Stichting” to realise plans for world-premières. Over ten years he was artistic director of this foundation, which was subsidised by the Dutch Government and the City of Amsterdam. He also was artistic director of a Dutch opera touring company “Opera Amsterdam”. He directed in the Netherlands and abroad opera’s from Mozart, Menotti, Offenbach, Britten, Monteverdi, Rameau, Vaughan Williams and Wagner. For many years he was member of the Committee of the Dutch Arts Council for Opera and Musical. He directed many newly composed opera’s and worked in Holland, Poland, France, Germany, Ireland and England. Furthermore he was artistically responsible as a resident director for the Dutch version of The Phantom of the Opera at Joop van den Ende Theatre Productions. Since 1997 he produces and directs fashion shows of young Dutch couturiers as Mart Visser and AZIZ. He directed a new worldpremière of a traditional Irish Musical. stage director for opera and music theatre LE NOZZE DI FIGARO, W.A. MOZART ORKEST VAN DE ACHTTIENDE EEUW O.L.V.

In zijn effectieve regie geeft Jeroen Lopes Cardozo de lichaamstaal van de personages gedetailleerde aandacht. Als toeschouwer zit je op het puntje van de stoel.” De Volkskrant **** “Het is al de derde Mozart-opera die het gezelschap op deze manier brengt, geregisseerd door Jeroen Lopes Cardozo. Kenneth Montgomery loodst zijn equipe door de partituur en komt tot een solide vertolking. Aan oorvijgen en omhelzingen schort het niet bij deze Le nozze di Figaro.” Dialogues des Carmélites , Francis Poulenc, Productie van Fontys Conservatorium COSÌ FAN TUTTE, W.A.

He concentrated most of the action around the cleverly paced recitatives and minimised movement during the arias and ensembles, fully trusting in the communicative powers of the music and the singers.” Volkskrant ****, De Telegraaf **** Trouw ****, NRC **** DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE FONTYS CONSERVATORIUM FONTYS Koor en Orkest olv Arjan van Baest OPERA GALA productie www.nationaaloperafestival.nl aria’s en geënsceneerde tweede akte van Puccini’s La Boheme Nationaal Opera Festvial Koor en Orkest o.l.v.
