Enjoy amazing performances in Leiden

Do you live in Leiden? Have you never visited the Leidse Schouwburg or the Stadsgehoorzaal? You’re missing out! These historic buildings, with over 500 years of history, offer a wide range of performances. The Leidse Schouwburg, built in 1705, is the oldest theater in the Netherlands.

Our program features performances tagged ‘language no problem,’ which are either without much spoken text or in English, making them ideal for non-Dutch speakers.
