Join a guided tour behind the scenes of Dutch National Opera & Ballet.
In short
Here at Dutch National Opera & Ballet, we craft everything we need for our performances ourselves: constructing stage sets, creating costumes (including hats and footwear), making props...
A guided tour offers a unique insight into what happens backstage before and during a performance. The tour takes in the large auditorium, shows you what happens in the wings with all the technical wizardry, pays a vist to the ballet studios and the costume workshop.
