When it comes to theatre Amsterdam has a truly international approach, so language won't be a barrier. Of the hundreds of shows on offer, many are shown in venues of international importance, from the new Musiekgebouw aan't IJ, to the historical Stadsschouwburg. And the shows offer the same level of variety, from modern dance to classical ballet, from comedy to an evening of chansons, it has it all. Choosing the top ten theatres is an impossible task, so here are some of the best in their various categories.
