Classical opera and dance concert halls Amsterdam

The Concertgebouw is first and foremost a superb historical building, both inside and out. Of course, it is also an extraordinary acoustic: the best in the world according to many experts! But the Concertgebouw is also an experience of going out "Dutch style" in a cozy and elegant setting. The program is distinguished by its high level of quality and constant innovation. It is the ideal place for an evening of music when you are in Amsterdam. Free concerts are organized every Wednesday at noon.

This building, which brings together several concert halls dedicated to music in all its forms, opened its doors almost twenty years ago in an imposing and magnificent complex near Centraal Station. The building, a concrete cube floating on three sides on the IJ, is surrounded by glass and was designed by Danish architects 3X Nielsen. The new municipal library buildings, brilliantly designed by Jo Coenen, are located in this renewed district. The library's programming focuses mainly on classical music, but not exclusively.
