De Spiegel

De Spiegel is a theatre in Zwolle with a distinctive rounded exterior clad in titanium and zinc, punctuated by long glass panels between wooden supports. The interior accommodates various performance types and includes assistance equipment for visitors with hearing difficulties.

The venue opened in 2006 when Queen Beatrix performed the official inauguration. This marked the start of a cultural institution designed to serve the city's growing interest in performing arts.

This theatre hosts a range of performances that draw locals and visitors who want to experience live arts in the city. The building serves as a gathering place where people come together to enjoy classical music, stage plays, and contemporary dance.

The building is fully accessible for wheelchair users, and staff can provide hearing assistance technology when needed. Before visiting, check what performances are scheduled and reach out in advance if you require special accommodations.

The auditorium features a movable ceiling system that rises and lowers to fine-tune acoustics for different performances. The seating capacity shifts between roughly 850 and 1000 seats depending on how the ceiling is positioned.
