Stadsschouwburg Destination
Stadsschouwburg Destination.............
This famous Amsterdam theater shows locally produced and written plays Dutch, as well as an occasional international play, usually in Dutch but sometimes in Indonesia. Both classic and modern plays are performed here at the Amsterdam Theater, and every once in a while an opera and ballet also makes a showing. On the grounds, the original baroque theater which was built in 1894 still stands, though all that remains are parts of the building that were not destroyed in the historical fire. The Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam is currently Undergoing a remodel, and will reopen as the Parktheater Eindhoven in January 2007. In the Meantime, the old Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam is still open for business and putting on a regular schedule of shows. The theater that stands today was first opened in 1894.
Most of the shows are held in the theater's main hall, known as Grote Zaal. There are also a couple of special locations, including the Rotonde (Roundabout) and the foyers. Future renovations will provide the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam with a Vlakke Vloer Zaal (flat floor hall). Though many of the shows at the Amsterdam Theater are meant for an adult audience, there are actually quite a number of youth theater performances, as well. The building itself is beautiful and seeing a show is one of the most fun things to do in Amsterdam in the winter when the days start to shorten.
Dressing up as a family and heading to the theater for one of the youth theater performances is a great way to spend an evening in Amsterdam.
