The Royal Carré Theatre in Amsterdam is ideally located at the banks of the river Amstel. An easy stroll (or public transport) will get you there. We watched a musical in this theatre and we thoroughly enjoyed the homey feel that this theatre gives you. The sound and vision are very well as are the services (drinks, bathrooms). The building...

I have seen some concerts here - one of the highlights was Madre Deus and Fela!. Because of the superb ambience and acoustics of the place, many live videos have been shot here. One case in point - a concert of Buena Vista Social Club. I had the great fortune to perform there in September last year, along with 1,000... More

This is the most prestious and beautiful theatre in Holland right on the edge of the canals. The performances range from classic theatre and music to circus. Pick your favourite and have a great night out. Pre-performance dinners can be had in the theatre itself if you book well beforehand - otherwise next door restaurants make sure you are fed... More

Officially opened as a circus theather but when i was there, I dont see any hint of it being one before. If it was a circus theater before, then it must have been the most beautiful circus theater in the world. This theater deserves all the great review here in tripadvisor. A must see in Amsterdam if you love theater.... More

An awesome building - classic in the best sense of the word. Whenever you have to chance to watch a performance here - go there - the atmosphere and acoustics are phenomenal. Only the best are allowed to get on this stage.

This is a beautiful theater with very nice interiors and architecture. I'd recommend paying a bit extra for the good seats (stalls or parterre sections). No seat is a bad seat, but it really does make a difference to be up close since the cheaper seats are generally way up in the rafters, making viewing a bit of a challenge.... More

We booked tickets for the world christmas circus that was showing at the Carre in early January. The theater was a great venue for it - there didn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. Our own seats were just a few rows from the top, but there was no trouble seeing the fabulous acts. The area on... More
