About Het Vrijthof Theatre

Het Vrijthof Theatre is a renowned Maastricht venue housed in a historic square. The complex includes two halls: the main Papyruszaal (about 900 seats) and the smaller Bovenzaal (up to 110 seats). The Papyruszaal uses numbered seating with three price bands: Premium, Band A, and Band B. Premium seats are typically located in rows 4 and 12, and in balcony rows 1–2. Detailed seating plans can be viewed during ticket purchase. The theatre hosts Opera Zuid performances, in-house companies like Toneelgroep Maastricht and SALLY, and festival partnerships with Musica Sacra Maastricht and Nederlandse Dansdagen. Papyrusplein immersive performances are also part of the program. The venue is undergoing expansion with a new Middenzaal; the Papyruszaal may experience temporary closure mid-2027 to mid-2028 due to construction.
