Die Dreigroschenoper continues!

With the opening production of the 2025/2026 season – Die Dreigroschenoper (Kurt Weill & Bertold Brecht) – Opera Zuid is entering into a unique collaboration with a number of performing arts organisations from the South of the Netherlands. Theater aan het Vrijthof, Opera Zuid, Toneelgroep Maastricht, Philzuid and PLT Theaters are joining forces to develop this vibrant musical theatre work, which focuses on both socio-artistic objectives and a new interpretation of Brecht and Weill’s work.

As a BIS institution, Opera Zuid will receive less subsidy from the central government for the 2025-2028 Cultural Policy Period than advised by the Cultural Council and will therefore continue to have too limited a subsidy base from the BIS for the next four years. The Threepenny Opera is therefore made possible in part by collaboration with partners and by additional funding from local authorities, sponsors and private funds: the Provinces of Limburg and Noord-Brabant, the Municipality of Maastricht, André and Marjorie Rieu, the VSB Fund, the Cultural Fund, the Gubbels-Huijnen Foundation and the Kanunnik Salden/Nieuwenhof Foundation. The additional funding has been largely secured. Pending the final completion of the fundraising campaign, the Friends of Philzuid Foundation is guaranteeing the continuation of Die Dreigroschenoper by means of a bridging loan.

Early ticket sales for the performances in Theater aan het Vrijthof, Parktheater Eindhoven and PLT Theaters will start on Tuesday 29 April.
