Carré Theatre, Theater on Amstel in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Royal Theatre Carré features a Neo-Renaissance design with a horseshoe-shaped auditorium that accommodates 1,700 spectators along the Amstel River.

German circus director Oscar Carré established this permanent entertainment venue in 1887, initially for winter circus performances on 1,450 wooden foundation piles.

The venue presents an annual program of musicals, cabaret shows, opera performances, classical concerts, and the traditional World Christmas Circus each December.

Visitors can reach the theater at Amstel 115 using tram lines 1, 7, and 19 or metro lines 51, 53, and 54, with parking available at Q-Park Weesperplein.

The municipality of Amsterdam purchased the building in 1977, and ten years later the theater received the Royal designation on its centennial celebration.
