The organizers of The Passion in Terneuzen have lifted age restrictions, allowing singers over 45 to audition for this year’s live event. Initially, the selection was limited to those aged 45 and younger, leading to disappointment among older singers and accusations of age discrimination. The decision to broaden the eligibility comes after notable public reactions, with singers like 63-year-old Lenie Huigh expressing their joy and intent to audition alongside younger participants. The event is set to be broadcast live on April 17.
