The International Theater Amsterdam is an impressive building. It looks stately from the outside, and much of the interior has been preserved, perhaps with some touch-ups and/or renovations.
We watched the Introdans (Spring) performance. Last year, we saw Fall in Amstelveen. We were truly impressed by the opening. Wow, it was amazing how they started at a long table.

And when we finally got through, it turned out that the hall itself was still closed. The crowd was stuck on the staircases for another 10+ minutes... The staff looked nervous but nobody explained anything. The whole thing felt more like boarding a Ryanair flight than attending a stage play. It was a total...
