Claudia de Breij is back with the official New Year’s Eve Conference!
In 2026, she gets the chance for the fourth time to let the Netherlands hear her vision of the past year. Who can match that? Claudia is the grande dame of Dutch cabaret. Following the success of her third New Year’s Eve Conference in 2022, for which she received rave reviews and drew millions of viewers to television, she performed her latest show, Wat als, to sold-out venues for two years. For this show, she was nominated in 2024 for the Poelifinario in the Engagement category, the award for the most impressive cabaret program of the theater season.
What she is going to make depends a bit on the year (Claudia: ‘I just hope something happens’ ), but it is certain that it will be funny, musical, and uplifting.
I’m really looking forward to it! Especially in these times when it sometimes feels like doom is near, I look forward to an evening that gives you the feeling that we can keep going—because we have to keep going. Well, and if not, at least we’ll have had a laugh.
