WELCOME TO OPERA OP DE PARADE!
The free opera festival of the South
Mark your calendar for Tuesday, June 16 and Wednesday, June 17, 2026, because Opera op de Parade is back! For two summer evenings, the Parade in ’s-Hertogenbosch transforms into a charming open-air theatre where you can enjoy beautiful opera classics - free of charge, right in the heart of the city.
​
On Tuesday, June 16, we present the Opera Singalong. Not just listening, but singing along yourself! Together with Philzuid, soloists from the International Vocal Competition ’s-Hertogenbosch (IVC), and Brabant Koor, you become part of one big choir on the Parade.
​
On Wednesday, June 17, the opera L'Étoile by Emmanuel Chabrier is on the program: a sparkling, satirical opera full of humor and unexpected twists.
Grab your cooler, gather your family and friends, and join us on June 16 and 17 at the Parade in ’s-Hertogenbosch. Whether you’re an opera lover or simply in the mood for an unforgettable musical evening, Opera op de Parade is for everyone. You’re warmly welcome!
