Grote Zaal
An iconic setting for special events


On the second floor of Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam lies the Koninklijke Foyer. An elegant space with a view over the Leidseplein and the historic Hirsch building. Behind its historical doors you will find a calm and impressive setting for gatherings, dinners and receptions. Royal enjoyment in the heart of Amsterdam.
The combination of historic details, daylight and a central location within the theatre makes this foyer particularly suited to events that call for a personal and exclusive atmosphere.
The Koninklijke Foyer is steeped in the history of Dutch theatre. On the walls hang portraits of actors who have left a lasting impression on the theatre landscape. Above the bar, for instance, hangs the portrait of Ziesenis-Wattier, once described by Napoleon as the greatest tragédienne in Europe. On the other side, Theo Mann-Bouwmeester looks out across the room. Her name lives on in the Theo d’Or, the annual prize for the best leading role in Dutch theatre.
