Theatre culture
Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam aims to be the leading centre of theatre culture in the Netherlands. People have been making theatre in Amsterdam for over 750 years. From the rhetoricians who performed on the streets and in inns to the major national and international performances that you see in the halls of the Schouwburg today.
A position that builds on tradition, but which is above all derived from a varied and innovative contemporary programme. In which there is much beauty to be experienced by artists and audiences at all times of the year.
A programme full of recognition and challenge: familiar faces are alternated with new generations of theatre makers.
