Actress Christianne de Bruijn will play the leading role in the Dutch film De Dirigent by Maria Peters. It is the first time that the musical star has a major role in a Dutch film. The Conductor is based on the life of Antonia Brico from the Netherlands. At the beginning of the twentieth century, she was the first female conductor in the world to successfully conduct large symphony orchestras. To date, women have still not managed to reach the top of the world rankings of conductors. De Bruijn has previously appeared in musicals such as Sister Act, Wicked and A New Brain.
