About the venue

International Theater Amsterdam (ITA) is located in the heart of the vibrant Leidseplein and is housed in the iconic Stadsschouwburg, one of the most beautiful historical theaters in the Netherlands.

With 13 characterful halls and foyers, ITA can accommodate groups of up to 1,800 guests. Whether it's for an intimate meeting in The Bookshop, stylish dining in the Royal Foyer, a conference in the Great Hall, or a party right on stage: it can all happen here.
