Soldier of Orange again temporarily shut down due to corona crisis | NOW

Of musical Soldier of Orange will be temporarily shut down again due to the corona crisis. The passing musical from Dutch history will only be resumed when it can be played for “sufficient” audience, producer reports New Productions Friday.

“The constant start-up and shutdown of production, the rebooking of tickets again and again, is neither a situation that can be sustained for our employees, nor for our public”, can be read on the website of Soldier of Orange.

“Our performance is therefore on hold for the time being. And that on the day that we actually exist for ten years, very surreal and sad. But we do everything we can to be back as soon as possible!”

Since the government’s corona measures on 14 October, a maximum of thirty visitors per room are welcome in theaters and cultural institutions. Previously, about a third of the hall capacity was occupied, but because of the flare-up of COVID-19, the government is tightening up the measures further.

Producer New Productions decided after these measures to cancel all performances until November 11. All people who have bought a ticket for a performance will receive a personal message.
