Venue
We have several venues and foyers where we welcome you throughout the year from early in the morning until late in the evening.
Floor plans
The grote zaal has on average five ranks and comfort seats (rank 1+) where you have extra legroom. The rabozaal has an average of three ranks. The studio uses a grandstand, without ranks.
Please note, the ranking with accompanying prices differs per show.
Wardrobe & bag policy
For safety reasons, it is not permitted to take large bags or backpacks into the venues. They form an obstacle to eviction. ITA offers a free, guarded wardrobe where you can leave your bags and backpacks during your visit. Handbags are permitted provided they do not exceed the maximum A4 size and 10 cm thickness.
Lost & found items
Found or lost something in ITA? Call our reception at +31 (0)20 523 77 00 or check the website iLost.
Starting times
Start times are strictly applied. Latecomers will not be admitted into the theatre. In case of performances with an intermission, latecomers may be admitted after the intermission. Bear in mind that it takes about five minutes from the entrance before you reach the rabozaal.
Photography & mobile telephony
It is not permitted to photograph or make sound and / or film recordings during a performance without written permission from the ITA management. The use of mobile telephones in the venues is also prohibited. You are urged to switch off your mobile phone when entering the venues.
General Visitor Terms & Conditions
ITA complies with the General Visitor Terms and Conditions of the Vereniging Schouwburgen- en Concertgebouwdirecties (VSCD). The terms and conditions in Dutch are available at the box office or can be downloaded here.
History of the house
Take a trip with us though the long history of the Huis van het Nederlandse Theater (House of Dutch Theater). The theatre on Leidsplein dates from 1984. But the history of the Amsterdam theatre dates back much further, from 1638. The theatre burned completely to the ground, twice. It was rebuilt. After a thorough renovation, and the
opening of a new state-of-the-art theatre hall in 2009, ITA is ready to serve as a theatre for the future.
Rent the venue?
A unique location requires a unique event, we know that better than anyone. In a historic setting, ITA offers intimate meeting rooms for 15 people to a gala venue for up to 2000 partygoers. We have a suitable space for every customized event. Even your wedding ceremony can take place in one of our foyers or halls.
