What are you going to listen to?

A party, presents and cake ... sounds fun, right? Well, not for Klaas. He thinks birthdays are stupid: boring presents, dirty cake and annoying visitors. Until suddenly a mysterious uncle shows up with ... a mysterious package. Don't open it! it says. But then again, how long can you keep that up?

Together with his best friend Krum, Klaas embarks on a wacky adventure filled with strange animals, stubborn horses and dangerous candy. The Residentie Orkest plays the soundtrack to this adventure, with music that can hum like a bear, prance like a paard or whisper like the wind. Together with actors Amy van der Weerden and Jacob de Groot, Oorkaan provides a clever mix of drama, humor and music. With sharp dialogues, unexpected turns and a good dose of mischief, they put the entire orchestra and the audience on edge.

But the biggest question remains: who gets to open the package? And ... is there actually anything in it?

The Sinterklaas Concert is exciting, musical and hilarious. Without an old-fashioned Saint, but of course full of familiar Sinterklaas songs that can be sung along at the top of your voice. Perfect for everyone who loves adventure, music and a touch of mystery (and secretly also for those who hate dirty cake).

This performance was developed by Oorkaan i.c.w. the Residentie Orkest.
