The Royal Concertgebouw's two greatest treasures are its architecture and acoustics. The building is sometimes called ‘the temple of music’ in Amsterdam, thanks in part to its sandstone entrance in the shape of a classical temple. With all the renovations that have taken place in recent years, the acoustics have been improved each time, with the result that the hall now acts as a huge sound box. So prepare for an evening of wonder and enchantment.
The Royal Concertgebouw has four concert halls in total and is home to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Which you can also see playing for yourself, during lunch sessions where they will rehearse, but also when a real concert is given. Since its 125th anniversary in 2013, the Concertgebouw has been officially named the Royal Concertgebouw.
The Royal Concertgebouw is located exactly opposite Museumplein, the entrance on the Museumplein side has been moved to the side of the Royal Concertgebouw since its renovation, namely on Concertgebouwplein.
