Welcome to ArtsTalk Magazine Holland

Launched in June 2017, we provide previews, reviews and information, in English, for theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, opera etc, concentrating on cities in south west Netherlands. We cover Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and everything in between and nearby – an area known as Randstad. Each venue, museum or gallery has its own page with information and a link to its website. The site is updated on a daily basis.

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

You can follow us on social media

NOT ONLY, BUT ALSO . . . some dates for your diary

Here’s a run down of some other events coming up in the next few weeks in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby and in between. . .

There is so much going on in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and nearby there are hardly enough days in the week to see or do everything. Luckily a lot of the exhibitions, events and tours run for quite a long time so if you have missed anything, don’t worry, it may still be running.

REGULAR EVENTS . . .

There are lots of events taking place on a weekly, monthly or occasional basis. There are literary events, musical events and, of course, stand-up comedy. Here is a list of venues or events in Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam and places nearby with links to their websites

Bringing OSCAR to Life – A dancer’s perspective

Scapino Ballet dancer Ashton Benn gives an insider’s view of Ed Wubbe’s final production.

After moving to the Netherlands in July, I was warmly welcomed into the company and tasked with learning the show. Fortunately, many of the dancers and circus performers helped create Oscar in 2022 and had the choreography tucked inside their muscle memories . . .

Although we concentrate on Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam and everything else in between and nearby there are lots of other interesting events happening elsewhere
