The Muziektheater is Amsterdam at its most ambitious. This plush, crescent-shaped building, which opened in 1986, has room for 1,596 people and is home to both Dutch National Ballet and De Nederlandse Opera, though the stage is also used by visiting companies such as Nederlands Dans Theater, the Bill T Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company and Batsheva. The lobby's panoramic glass walls offer impressive views out over the River Amstel.
