Especially for the Friends of Opera Spanga, this year there will be a Friends Day! Part of the day program is the performance Dort wo du nicht bist. If you are coming, please register before June 15, at the secretariat of the Friends: tinekevandevliet@gmail.com.

In May we will be performing Anne & Zef by Monique Krüs and Ad de Bont. We have had this moving and important performance in our repertoire for 10 years now.
Reflect on 80 years of freedom in the spring of 2025 with this moving and relevant performance that tells the story of the Jewish Anne and the Islamic Zef, two teenagers who share their dreams and fears.

The performances on May 6, 7 and 20 are closed, but on May 5 - after the unveiling of the renovated resistance monument (by Jan van Luijn) at the town hall in Wolvega - Opera Spanga will perform Anne & Zef in the Council Chamber. Starts at 3:30 PM.

Opera Spanga presents: Dort wo du nicht bist, a dialogue between Goethe and Schiller with music by Schubert.
Koen Masteling vocals | Mark van Nispen piano

On the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Opera Spanga, the book 35 jaar Opera Spanga in Noord Nederland was created. The book focuses on the period 2019-2024 and is a follow-up to the book Opera in het weiland, the little sister, so to speak. And it gives a glimpse into the plans for the future. This edition is also illustrated with the most beautiful photos of the various productions.

The book can be ordered by e-mail via info@operaspanga.nl. The price of the book is €10 (excl. shipping costs).

In collaboration with the municipality of Weststellingwerf, the book Opera in het weiland was made, about 30 years of Opera Spanga. Journalist Kasper Jansen sketches a picture of developments in the past 30 years, in conversations with Corina van Eijk and a few loyal employees, such as Klara Uleman and Ali Veenhouwer. The book is illustrated with the most beautiful photos of various productions.

The book (Dutch) can be ordered by e-mail via info@operaspanga.nl. The price of the book is € 15 (excl. shipping costs).
