This venue is used for several performing companies in Amsterdam, including the national opera and the national ballet. This large theater has grown enormously popular and constantly draws performers from all over the world. The architecture is impressive, which is particularly evident in the curved front exterior, enclosing a spacious 14-meter (46-foot) high foyer.
