Theatre and film
Experience a show - in Maastricht
A visit to the theatre in Maastricht adds a special experience to your stay. Experience various performances, from dance to cabaret and from musical to theatre. The theatre is there for everyone, from young to old. The cinemas and film houses also welcome you with open arms. From Hollywood blockbusters to cinema classics.
Theatre continues to surprise
Musicals, dance performances, cabaret, concerts, opera or a show for the kids. Theatre in Maastricht has a lot to offer. Enjoy the impressive performing arts of talented performers. From big productions in Theater aan het Vrijthof to experimental performances by local theatre companies.
With a smile - and a tear
Because really good cabaret also needs depth. Well-known names or young and up-coming cabaret talent gather in the Maastricht theatres. Humour, political angles and topical issues are sharply translated on stage into a full evening (or afternoon) of cabaret. Laugh, howl, roar but also food for thought.
