Welcome to the new 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 Twitter and Facebook so you are always up to date with the arts in Holland.

Some Highlights This Month

After a longish pause STET, The English Theatre, is back with CRY HAVOC! which is at Het Paradijs at the Koninklijke Schouwburg from 19th. Stephan Wolfert recounts his own experiences of military service, weaving his personal narrative with lines from some of Shakespeare’s most famous speeches. Another of the month’s highlights is the REWIRE FESTIVAL of experimental music which runs at various venues in The Hague on the 6th, 7th and 8th. Its main attraction is certainly the celebrated American avant-gardist Laurie Anderson who will be appearing at the Korzo Theater.

EXTRACURRICULAR

LEEUWARDEN-FRIESLAND is the 2018 European Capital of Culture

and continues for the rest of the year showing how Frisians celebrate life and aim to leave a healthy planet behind for the generations to come. How they boldly put their head above the ground to show their stubborn ways to the world without limit. Culture is therefore not the goal, but the means. The northern Dutch landscape is the stage and everyone is invited!
