Fodor's Expert Review Internationaal Theater Amsterdam

After burning down and being rebuilt several more times, the current Neo-Renaissance facade that dominates Leidseplein, with its lushly Baroque-style horseshoe interior, was created in 1894. Dutch theater is dynamic, strongly physical and visual, often with a hilarious, absurdest sense. Although the majority of the programming is in Dutch, there’s also a constant stream of visiting theater and dance companies plus, a selection of English-language performances and subtitled screenings. In 2018, the historic Amsterdam Stadsschouwburg merged with Toneelgroep Amsterdam to create the newly formed Internationaal Theater Amsterdam.
