Amare

On Spuiplein, in the bustling centre of The Hague, Amare is the new cultural nexus of the city. Four renowned organisations reside in Amare: Nederlands Dans Theater, Residentie Orkest, the Royal Conservatoire and the former Zuiderstrand Theater.

Amare is a striking and sustainable complex. The building has four seated halls offering room for 3,600 visitors: Ranging from 180-1200 capacity, to 2500 when the Grand Hall is transformed by removing the seats. Plus AMARE presents concerts in the church Nieuwe Kerk, just across of th main building, offering a special ambiance for 350 capacity.
Just like in the Zuiderstrand Theater, we continue to present dance, all styles of music, opera, musical theatre, circus, cabaret and spectacular shows in Amare. And for the youngest among us, too. We will organise programmes with local communities and will celebrate cultural holidays and festivals with zest.

The building also houses two restaurants, a convention centre, studios, classrooms, and a large amount of public indoor space which will be available for initiatives by Amare’s occupants, other cultural organisations and the residents of The Hague.

Global music programming consists of both a wide array of year rounds concerts, from traditional to contemporary, to community based festivals organizes in collaboration with local and international partners, such as: Nowruz, Gnawa and Amazigh, Divali, Keti Koti (the celebration of th abolishment of slavery) and more.
