Isabel sings Andrea Bocelli in Uitgeest | Sunday, November 22, 2026

Some voices cause a room to fall silent on its own.

Not because it needs to be done.

But because everyone wants to listen for a moment.

I always get this feeling with the music of Andrea Bocelli. Songs like "Con te partirò" and "Vivo per lei" are the kind of songs you immediately recognize, even if you don't listen to classical music or opera every day.

On Sunday, November 22nd, these world-famous songs will be reinterpreted at De Zwaan Cultureel. And the best part: they will be sung by Isabel Commandeur, who is returning to her hometown of Uitgeest for this special afternoon.

From musicals to world championship titles

Isabel Commandeur is an artist who defies categorization.

She played the lead role in musicals such as Saturday Night Fever , A Little Night Music and Lover or Loser , won the television show My Name Is with her impressive interpretations of Christina Aguilera and even performed five times at the World Performing Arts Championships in Los Angeles, where she took home five medals.

Nevertheless, she will perform as usual on November 22nd at De Zwaan, on an afternoon dedicated entirely to the music of Andrea Bocelli.

And somehow I find that to be something very special.

An afternoon full of goosebump moments

You don't have to be an opera lover to be touched by this music.

It is precisely the combination of familiar melodies, romantic ballads, and Isabel's warm voice that makes this concert a wonderful, immersive experience. No rush, no packed schedule, no ringing cell phone.

Just music.

And sometimes that's exactly enough.

Enjoy the music first, then gather together at the table.

Would you like to make this Sunday afternoon a truly successful outing? Then you can purchase a ticket including a three-course meal at the KLAAS restaurant, located right next to the theater, through De Zwaan Cultureel.

A lovely end to an afternoon that was primarily dedicated to pleasure.

5 things I'm looking forward to

• Let's see how many people secretly hum along to Con te partirò .

• An afternoon where you don't have to think about anything else for two hours.

• The combination of opera, pop and romantic ballads makes this concert surprisingly accessible.

• The fact that Isabel is performing in her own Uitgeest gives this show that certain something extra.
