ITA Music

From our stage to your speakers
"Where can I listen to the music from your productions?" For years, the answer to that question was: nowhere. The music was written for one production, heard in that moment, on that night, in that theatre. And it was gone as soon as the lights came up.
Until now! With ITA Music, we're releasing our most requested songs. For those who saw the show and want to hear the music again. And for those who don't know us yet, but do know our sound.
Music is in our dna
n Eline Arbo's work, music isn't accompaniment. It's structure, foundation, the very basis. On all her productions she works with her regular creative partner, composer Thijs van Vuure. Together they make music theatre: productions in which the actors act, sing and play music.

Music from original ITA Productions
ITA Music is a broad collaboration. The label releases music by artists who created music here, in-house, for our productions. Think of the ominous score Sandro Tajouri composed for Prophet Song. And of course the music Thijs van Vuure wrote for productions such as Giovanni's Room, De Wetten and Penthesilea.
A series, not standalone albums
ITA Music is released in numbered volumes. Each volume has its own character, and together they form a portrait of how music is made in this house. The first volume came out on 1 October 2026: Vol. 1 – New Originals, featuring original new songs written specially for ITA Productions.
Later this year we expect Vol. 2 – Music from The Copenhagen Trilogy, with all the songs from Eline Arbo's latest production.
Coming soon | ITA Music on vinyl
You can listen to music from ITA Productions on all major streaming platforms. But there's good news for collectors: at the end of this year we're releasing NEW ORIGINALS on vinyl, in a strictly limited edition of 300 copies per album. It will be on sale at the Stadsschouwburg during opening hours.
Keep an eye on our website for the release date and more information!

ITA Music thanks
ITA Music started in 2026 as an ITA innovation project. Every year, ITA staff can apply for a development budget for projects that explore, renew and innovate. The project team gets time, space and budget to develop a new initiative. This is how we encourage both organisational development and personal growth.
For ITA Music, we thank the core project team: Loesje Riethof, Evelien ter Ellen and Thijs van Vuure. A huge and very musical thank-you goes to our release partner HAYP Music, and to Alvin Lewis in particular, for his advice, enthusiasm and conviction.
And a standing ovation for all our ITA colleagues and the music lovers who helped make this first release happen.
