What’s going on in Amsterdam

| Stadsschouwburg

Macbeth, Shakespeare’s shortest and bloodiest tragedy, will premiere during the 2012 Holland Festival. Guest director Johan Simons sees the play as a genetic study of violence. Macbeth will be surtitled (subtitles, but then above the screen) in English on Friday June 15 at the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam.

The Holland Festival has been the trend-setting performing arts festival in the Netherlands for decades, annually presenting exceptional work at the international level with a mix of all the performance arts, a mix of big names and daring experiments.
