  • THEATRE CARRE AND THE CONCERT HALL

    The most important cultural stages in Amsterdam are the Theatre Carré and the Concert Hall.
    Carré started in 1887 as a circus theatre.
    These days the beautifull hall admits room for many music-, act- and danceperformances.
    The concert hall was built in 1888.
    The impressive concert hall is the classical music centre of the Netherlands, in which the famous concert hall orchestra succesfully performs for years now.For more info about The Concert Hall:click here
