Info
With Buurt Opera Malpertuis (BOM), local residents bring their stories and experiences to the Opera Zuid stage. Together with Tamara Jongerden (direction), Ginette Puylaert (singing and co-direction), Tim Sabel (musical direction) and Tim Stoter (children’s rehearsals) – from Studio Malpertuis, Opera Zuid’s home base – they give a glimpse into their lives. This year, the participants create a music-theatrical collage performance about Christmas.
Kerst-Mis
Can you look forward to celebrating a lovely, cosy Christmas together, even in the summer? Or are you glad when the winter festive season is over?
This year, all those mixed feelings about Christmas and the winter festive season are welcome at the BOM on Malpertuisplein: in a cosy, theatrical Christmas concert, we’ll talk and sing about why we do or don’t (want to) celebrate Christmas…
You’re welcome, whether you’re firmly against it or passionately in favour. Because we’re here for everyone this festive season!
In the musical theatre production Kerst-Mis, you’ll hear the best and most beautiful classical and pop Christmas music – from the songs we’re constantly bombarded with to lesser-known pieces – ranging from Bing Crosby and Mariah Carey to Benjamin Britten and Henry Purcell. Don’t know them? Then do come along and have a listen!
The music will be performed by students from the Maastricht Conservatorium, together with the Buurt Opera Malpertuis performers.
De BOM will play performances of Kerst-Mis on 14, 25 and 16 December 2026.
Admission is free, but reservations are required. Click on ‘Tickets’ in the Playlist.
At this moment all performances are fully booked. There is a waiting list in case tickets become available again! Send an email to: office@operazuid.nl
The BOM is a collaboration between Opera Zuid, the Maastricht Conservatorium, the social enterprise Trajekt and the Kunstketel, and is made possible in part by the Elisabeth Strouven Fonds and Stichting Kanunnik Salden/Nieuwenhof. Since 2026, AH Brusselsepoort has been supporting BOM Kids by providing a healthy snack for all participating children.
