With his opera company I Piccoli Holandesi, Pantus has created as director and singer several comic opera productions, including two collage-operas dedicated to Don Quixote. For the Coco Collectief he directed Schubert's Winterreise. For the Luthers Bach Ensemble he staged Bach's St Matthew Passion, which was performed for the third time last spring and received a five-star review in Trouw. The Netherlands Bach Society performed his staging of Bach's Coffee Cantata, which is also available on their video channel All of Bach. Last season Marc sang a notable Bottom in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream at Opera Zuid and delivered a compelling portrayal of the title role in Bartók's Duke Bluebeard's Castle.
