A Nut at the Opera is a droll and gentle satire of a fictitious opera world as seen through the eyes of Maurice Vellekoop
From colourful characters such as Olga Pickuptruckskaya and Valda Heck and references ranging throughout the history of opera to the heights of Wagnerian solemnity and the excesses of French spectacle, nothing escapes the elegant skewering of Vellekoop''s pen. The initial drawings were conceived as a series of birthday cards for a dear friend of the artist, now deceased. They form a fond tribute to this teacher and mentor. A Nut at the Opera will delight any opera aesthete.
