Lonely Planet review

This theatre, with its balcony arcade, dates from 1894. People criticised the building - as they've criticised every city theatre before or since - and the funds for the exterior decorations never materialised. The architect, Jan Springer, couldn't handle this and retired.

The theatre is used for large-scale plays, operettas and festivals such as Julidans, Amsterdam's renowned july festival of dance.
