Die Dreigroschenoper continues!

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

As a BIS institution for the Culture Note period 2025-2028, Opera Zuid will receive less funding from the central government than advised by the Council for Culture and will therefore also have an underfunded subsidy base from the BIS for the next four years. Die Dreigroschenoper is therefore partly made possible by cooperation with the partners and by additional funding from decentralised authorities, sponsors and private funds: the Provinces of Limburg and North Brabant, the Municipality of Maastricht, André and Marjorie Rieu, the VSB Fund, Cultuurfonds, the Gubbels-Huijnen Foundation and Stichting Kanunnik Salden/Nieuwenhof. Most of the additional funding is in place. Pending the finalisation of the fundraising campaign, the Friends of Philzuid Foundation guarantees the continuation of Die Dreigroschenoper by means of a bridging loan.

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