Stadsschouwburg Utrecht

Stadsschouwburg Utrecht is a theater building in the Dutch city of Utrecht with two separate performance halls for different types of shows. The main hall holds about 1000 seats while the smaller hall accommodates around 250 spectators for more intimate productions.

The building was designed by architect Willem Marinus Dudok and opened in 1941, constructed in the reconstruction style of that era. Its creation took place during a period of significant transformation in Europe.

The building stands as a protected Dutch national monument and draws visitors for theater, music, and dance performances throughout the year. Its role as a cultural gathering place has remained central to the city's artistic life since its opening.

The theater is located about a 20-minute walk from Utrecht Central Station and is relatively easy to reach. The building offers infrared sound systems and special seating arrangements for visitors with disabilities.

Theater ticket holders receive free access to local bus and tram services on the day of their performance. This offer connects the cultural experience with the city's public transportation system.
