Amsterdam Entertainment Guide

Originally built in 1921 by a Polish Jewish immigrant, this art deco cinema is a fantastic building and is situated between the Rembrandt and Muntplein. In 1998 a full restoration of the building commenced, which has resulted in the closure of some of the more decrepit theaters and the modernization of the better ones. The main theater now has 800 luxurious seats and there is a VIP balcony where champagne is served.
The building contains Asian influences, while the lobby was designed in a way to offer theatergoers the feeling that they are stepping into an illusion. The Tuschinski’s main auditorium has served as both a movie theater and a live performance space since its opening. In addition to a film screen, it also contains a stage and an organ.

The Amsterdam Concertgebouw is one of the world’s most renowned concert venues, acclaimed for its excellent acoustics. The building was completed in 1888 and for well over a century it has been the center of classical music in the Netherlands.
The architect of the building was Adolf Leonard van Gendt who was inspired by the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, built two years earlier (and destroyed in 1943).
Today, some 900 concerts and other events per year take place in the Concertgebouw, for a public of over 700,000, making it one of the most-visited concert halls in the world.

The Municipal Theatre is situated on the Leidseplein and frequently shows English language theater productions and dance performances.
The building is in the neo-Renaissance style dating back to 1894, and is the former home of the National Ballet and Opera.
