History
The Dylan opened her doors in 1999, but the site is in use since long ago. In 1612, Doctor Samuel Coster founded a theatre called "De Duytsche Academie" which was founded to broaden science. In 1637, the building was rebuild in stone, by the famous Architect Jacob Van Campen en it was officially the first theatre in Amsterdam. To placate the church authorities who disapproved of the immoral character of the theatre, it was then decided to donate most of the receipts to the city's orphanages. Antonio Vivaldi himself conducted the theatre orchestra at the time of the 100th anniversary in 1737. Celebrity visitors included the Prince of Orange, the King of Poland, the Tsar of Russia, the Elector of Brandenburg and Cosimo di Medici. May, 11th 1772 was a black day in the theatre's history. The complex burned down completely. The site was sold in 1773 to the Regents of the Roman Catholic Old and Poor People's Office, which was the most important Catholic charity in those days. This Foundation was to remain the owner of the complex until 1998.
