Generaalshuis, Theatre at Vrijthof square, Maastricht, Netherlands

The Theater aan het Vrijthof occupies a neoclassical building with two performance halls, accommodating up to 900 spectators in the Papyruszaal and 110 in the Bovenzaal.

Built in 1805 on the foundations of a former convent, the Generaalshuis served as a residence for military commanders before becoming a municipal building in 1914.

The theatre presents a range of performances including classical concerts, opera productions, dance shows, and contemporary theatrical productions throughout the year.

The venue provides wheelchair accessibility through an elevator system, and guests can use the underground parking facility beneath Vrijthof square.
