Step into this stunning neo-Renaissance theater on Leidseplein, where grand interiors and eclectic performances create an unforgettable cultural experience.
"In an ambiance of 19th-century splendor, enjoy the best of Dutch theater in Amsterdam’s neo-Renaissance-style municipal theater on Leidseplein. Designed like a court theater with grand stairs, red velvet curtains, golden chandeliers, and seating for different social ranks (including a special box for the king), it’s the perfect venue for a sophisticated night out on one of the city’s liveliest public squares. Many productions include English subtitles." - MATADOR_NETWORK
"This imposing 1894 neo-Renaissance-style red-brick building on the famed Leidseplein is home to Toneelgroep Amsterdam , the largest theater company in the Netherlands. Both classic plays and modern dramas are staged in its two major halls. The Grote Zaal (or Big Room) is the historic, 900-seat, horseshoe-shaped auditorium, which features ornate chandeliers, a magnificent painted ceiling, and tiered red-velvet seating. The Rabozaal is a state-of-the-art addition constructed in 2009; with around 500 seats, it often hosts international theater companies. While most productions at Stadsschouwburg are performed in Dutch, both venues feature English subtitles for Thursday-night shows. During intermission, be sure to check out the hallways, with paintings and busts of actors who have performed here since the theater’s founding."
