Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam

Located on Amsterdam’s bustling Leidseplein, the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam is one of the city’s most iconic cultural landmarks. Since 1894, this historic theatre has been a place where audiences come together to experience theatre, dance, music and debate. The theatre is home to Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA), one of Europe’s leading theatre institutions. Alongside its own productions, ITA presents a wide-ranging programme of Dutch and international theatre, dance and multidisciplinary performances.

Visitors can enjoy productions by the ITA ensemble as well as guest performances from acclaimed artists and companies from around the world. Many performances are presented in English or other languages, and Dutch-language productions are often accompanied by English surtitles, making the programme accessible to an international audience.

Beyond the stage, the building itself is worth exploring. Guided tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at the historic theatre, including its impressive architecture, hidden spaces and stories from more than a century of theatre-making.

Whether you are visiting for a performance, a guided tour or a drink in the theatre’s brasserie, the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam offers a unique introduction to Amsterdam’s cultural life.
