The National Theatre prevented Stopera from becoming The National Theatre
It would have been so nice: The National Ballet together with The National Opera in The National Theatre, as you have in the capital of any self-respecting country. But so that didn't happen. The home of our National Opera and Ballet clubs is now called 'Nationale Opera en Ballet'. The National Theatre made sure of that, which, like the Nederlands Dans Theater, is not in our capital Amsterdam, but in its residence in The Hague.
Simon Stone adapts Ibsen for Australians: 'And why would you even go to the theatre if you live in Sydney?'
Holland Festival
Simon Stone (28) wrote a new play based on Henrik Ibsen's 1884 stage classic The Wild Duck. The Swiss-born Australian provided the Norwegian play with entirely contemporary language and dressing. The actors sit
'I have all of Shakespeare's records in my cupboard'
The press presentation of the open-air opera Orfeo ed Eurydice at Soestdijk at the time attracted just under a hundred people press and sponsors. At the presentation of the performance 'Much ado about nothing', The Utrecht Games attracted only a handful: someone from weblog cultuurpodium.nl, two people from the Stadsblad Utrecht and an indeterminate camera crew who had come exclusively for Suzan Visser....
Fedja van Huet's lost dinner jacket and other Toneelgroep Amsterdam mysteries #HF12
Anyone who might think that making a stage show is a simple one-two punch of a genius director with a good team of creatives and perfect actors is wrong. Only, as a spectator once attending the performance, you don't notice any of that. And that is just as well. You come for the performance and you won't care if...
Blood-soaked Macbeth fits festival theme perfectly but fails to touch #HF12
Imagine Arjan Robben. The much-troubled frontman of the Dutch national team has just seen a brilliant move rewarded with a penalty and he is ready to take it. Up comes a field hand with a new set of adhesive letters for his shirt because the numbers are no longer legible from the stands. Lots of lashing, shirt off, seconds glue. Circumstances, in short. After two minutes, the fielder is gone, the number readable and the referee's whistle sounds. Then try to hit the target.
Tjitske Reidinga launched as star of new summer programming Amsterdam's Delamartheater
The general public knows her as the rock-hard lawyer Claire from Gooise Vrouwen. Tone lovers have known her longer as that actress with the striking voice. A diplomat's daughter, born in Africa, later raised in Bussum. Tjitske Reidinga now dares to come forward:
Cultural merger fever could have serious consequences
In Amsterdam, Holland Festival, Theaterfestival, Toneelgroep Amsterdam and a few more clubs will 'work closely together'. In The Hague, this applies to Het Nationale Toneel and youth theatre house Stella Den Haag, while in Rotterdam
first reading of lost O'Neill piece
Eugene O'Neill in gelukkiger tijden. 2 jaar na het vernietigen van zijn eerste stuk Kenners weten het: vaak zijn acteurs twee maanden aan het repeteren op een toneelstuk met maar één doel voor ogen: de frisheid en verrassing van de ‘eerste lezing’ terugvinden. Bij die eerste lezing horen de acteurs immers de tekst voor het eerst van hun hun collega’s,…
5-hour marathon Roman Tragedies favourite with spectators Toneelgroep Amsterdam
Foto: jan Versweyveld We waren er wat mild ironisch over, maar petje af, inmiddels voor de pr-afdeling van Toneelgroep Amsterdam en de toeschouwers, die opvallend goed reageerden op de ‘kies de reprise’-actie die het gezelschap een paar weken terug lanceerde. We hebben de harde cijfers die we vreesden nooit te zullen zien. En die zijn geloofwaardig. We citeren het persbericht:…
Top or flop: audience picks repertoire first theatre company in the Netherlands
We got another press release, and wondered: top or flop? How does quirky artistry rhyme with audience-determined repertoire choice? Andne: do all those people who chose the winning piece also get a free-or at least discounted-ticket to the performance of their choice? Andne: who checks the results, as there is no notary. Enne:.
Culture day: not a penny for Oriëntalis, no brake on Amsterdam cutbacks and Vlissinger library unsaleable
PVV-provinciebestuurder Faber eerder dit jaar over het voormalig Bijbels Museum, nu Orientalis: "Ik heb geen 20 miljoen euro nodig om met een moslim te praten. Ook niet om met een jood of christen te praten overigens. De PVV heeft al een hekel aan subsidies, maar als het iets met de islam te maken heeft geven we niets." Staatssecretaris geeft museumpark…
Halbe Zijltra loves his job more than the ministry dares to show
That Martin Bosma, culture spokesman for the PVV, wants to withdraw the subsidy to Toneelgroep Amsterdam because that company plays works by 'enemy of the people' Tom Lanoye, was not even the most bizarre incident of the culture budget debate on 21 November 2011. More bizarre, too, than the PVV's demand for the establishment of a Colonial Museum celebrating the glory of 'Our Indies',...
Distress call for theatre school Roosendaal at last minute, arts venue Veenendaal scrapped Discount news from all regions
(...) The Youth Theatre School Roosendaal received a project subsidy of 36,779 euros from the municipality in 2010 and 2011. The school also fulfils a regional function. Forty per cent of its 330 pupils come from the surrounding villages. The proposal is to end the subsidy from 1 January. It was only this week that this apparently dawned on Hofplein's management. Which immediately started a...
Vanaf 2013 ziet het kunstleven in Amsterdam er heel erg anders uit.
Nu dan. 6,5 miljoen gaat er van de gesubsidieerde instellingen af. In Amsterdam. Qua gemeente. Het Rijk deed al iets meer dan 40 miljoen weg, wat 36 instellingen in hoge nood bracht. Nu heeft Amsterdam besloten om in ieder geval 13 instellingen op naam te behouden. Moeten we denken aan Toneelgroep Amsterdam, het IDFA, Holland Festival, Concertgebouw en het Muziekgebouw…
