Rotterdamse Schouwburg

The Rotterdamse Schouwburg is a theater building in central Rotterdam with three performance spaces of different sizes. The Main Hall accommodates around 880 seats, while the Small Hall holds 151 seats and the Krijn Boon Studio offers 80 seats for intimate shows.

The current building was completed in 1988 according to architect Wim Quist's design, featuring modern construction in concrete, steel, and wood. Gray and red color accents define the theater's distinctive exterior appearance.

The theater hosts plays, dance performances, and musical events that shape the cultural life of the city. Visitors experience a mix of classical productions and contemporary works that bring together local artists and international guests.

The theater is about five minutes on foot from Rotterdam Central Station and is easy to reach. The building provides wheelchair accessibility throughout and offers special sound equipment for visitors with hearing impairments.

The on-site Café-Restaurant Floor allows visitors to begin their evening with dinner before attending a performance in one of the three halls. This integrated approach turns a cultural outing into a complete evening at a single location.
