Welcome to ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we are the sister publication of StageTalk Magazine in the UK and provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands (Noord/Zuid Holland and Utrecht regions). Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated regularly and information is always coming in so there is always something new to discover or read about.

If you are promoting any events, please let us know and we’ll probably be able to list them.

Please subscribe to ArtsTalk Magazine using the box at the bottom of the page and follow us on social media using the links below so you are always up to date with the arts in Holland.

WHILE NOT QUITE BACK TO NORMAL, THINGS ARE SLOWLY GETTING BETTER

After nearly six months since the original lockdown, performance spaces, galleries and museums and the public are settling into some sort of routine – wearily accepting the inconvenience of the ongoing restrictions and controls.
For museums, especially the big ones in Amsterdam like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh, it means one is able to look at the pictures in a calm and leisurely fashion without staring at the backs of heads and back-packs of hordes of mindless tourists . . .

At Last – Eurostar Launches Direct Amsterdam-London Service

Five months later than planned and ten months after the original planned start date Eurostar will finally launch its direct service from Amsterdam to London on 26th October.

Ticket for the service will go on sale from 1st September, with two services a day starting on 26th October. Ticket prices start at €46 one way.
Direct trains have been running from London to Amsterdam since 2018, but passengers heading for the UK still had to change trains and go through security checks in Brussels south.

SON OF ESCOBAR – by Roberto Sendoya Escobar

Phillip Witcomb grew up as the son of a British M16 agent. Later he would learn that he is in fact the first born son of notorious drug lord, Don Pablo Escobar. One of the ten richest men in the world, Escobar controlled 80% of the global trade in cocaine before being shot dead in 1993. His first born, Roberto Sendoya Escobar, spoke to us from his home in Majorca about his recently published book, Son of Escobar.
