Sinterklaas Concert (all ages)

There’s a new Saint Nicholas in town! At least, someone to stand in for the sweet old Saint Nicholas when he wants an evening of rest. He is tired, climbing roofs is hurting his knees, and all those children’s songs are wearing out his ears. That’s why he has enlisted the assistance of a fresh and dynamic Supersint, a few centuries his junior and more in tune with the times. This New Saint Nick is eager to stir things up.

With a trimmed white beard, a fashionable mitre and Gucci crosier, the New Saint Nick is ready to thoroughly revamp some of those old and worn traditions. Time to jazz up the old-fashioned orchestra with those dull assistant Petes: it’s their time now to show off some fancy moves, rowdy raps and over-the-top entertainment in a new show, Sinterklaas Got Talent. Are they hip enough to be part of Saint Nick’s new squad? De Nieuwe Sint is a dazzling Saint Nicholas musical about whether things should always remain the same, or whether it’s time to chuck some of those old traditions overboard. What do you think?
