Dutch National Opera & Ballet presents the 2025 – 2026 season
We are delighted to present the 2025 – 2026 season! It promises to be a year full of variety, featuring no fewer than thirteen ballet productions and fifteen operas, including two productions for young audiences.
We look forward to a truly special season. We celebrate milestones – including the 60th anniversary of Dutch National Opera and the 10th anniversary of the Opera Forward Festival – while reflecting on the conclusion of a defining and immensely valuable era: the 2025 – 2026 season will be Ted Brandsen’s final season as director of Dutch National Ballet.
Lose yourself in timeless favourites, be amazed by the standout pieces of today’s most sought-after creators and broaden your horizons by listening to what new voices have to say. Whether on the Main Stage or in Studio Boekman, there is something for everyone. Additionally, we will tour theatres and schools across the country, sharing the magic of opera and ballet with as many people as possible.
