Royal Theatre Carré

Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Freak Show

Eccentric, offensive, challenging, exuberant and funny as always, Jean Paul Gaultier will turn Carré upside down next summer with his special creation: "Fashion Freak Show - 50 years of pop culture through the eyes of the enfant terrible of fashion". The sensational Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Freak Show will come to Carré from Wednesday 24 July to Sunday 28 July!

Great Catch - Luuk Brantjes, Tête-bêche & Harvey Cobb

Great Catch is precisely what the title implies: a great catch. A new generation of circus artists has emerged in the Netherlands who not only have fantastic skills but also create funny, moving and personal theatre performances.

It is a surprising program full of adventurous circus performances. Catch it if you can at Bijlmer Park Theatre.

Adi(c)sco - Club Guy & Roni Invites: Cecilia Moisio

ADI(C)SCO is an endless dance trip with the aim of being intoxicated and continuing to lose yourself in it: or addiction. The performance exudes the atmosphere of the disco era, in which the club scene and club drugs became popular. ADI(C)SCO is a party that gets out of hand and never ends. With this performance, Moisio wants to address the taboos and shame surrounding addiction. Moisio himself grew up with an alcoholic father and, therefore, has a strong personal motivation to discuss this topic. Can be seen in Bijlmer Parktheater.

De Nationale Opera - Roberto Devereux

The story about the love between Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, the Earl of Essex, forms the final piece of the so-called Tudor trilogy by the Italian bel canto composer Gaetano Donizetti.

De Nationale Opera - Fidelio

A liberation opera, a revolutionary work of art, an ode to love, a utopian drama. Beethoven's only opera Fidelio is all of these. Numerous qualifications and interpretations shroud the work in mystery, but above all demonstrate that it is a unique piece of musical theater that expresses the hope for a just, free and humane future. Watch this spectacle at the National Opera & Ballet.

De Nationale Opera - Il trittico

Puccini composed his 'Il Trittico' as a triptych of one-act plays in which shudder, sadness and laughter are successively evoked. The three short operas are now being performed together for the first time at the Dutch National Opera, forming the culmination of the three-year Puccini series by conductor Lorenzo Viotti and director Barrie Kosky.
