Please be aware that construction is still in progress around Amare on Spuiplein. Amare does not have parking spaces for the disabled.
Doors open 1 hour before the concert starts unless otherwise stated. As Amare is a large building, we recommend you arrive well in advance.
Cloakroom service is included in your ticket. You will also be offered a complimentary drink in one of our foyers during intermission, or afterwards at concerts without intermission. At our Sunday morning concerts, you will instead be offered a complimentary drink when you arrive.
Amare has two restaurants. The Stadskantine on the third floor is open to all – musicians, dancers, students, staff and visitors of Amare. It's open all day for coffee, lunch or dinner. Brasserie Amare, located on the ground floor near the Spui entrance, also offers coffee, lunch and dinner. Brasserie Amare uses organic and local ingredients as much as possible, serves global cuisine and offers a special pre-theatre menu.
Amare was designed and built with sustainability in mind. Its ventilation system draws fresh air from outside. As a result, the temperature in the building may feel slightly cold to some. Please take this into account when deciding what to wear.
The 2023/24 season once again features Starters before Symphonic Friday and Sunday Matinee concerts. Starters are engaging pre-concert programmes with live performances by our own musicians and interviews with soloists and conductors. Before or after our Family Concerts, you are welcome to play and drum along with our orchestra musicians in the Instrument Garden.
The Instrument Garden is open for one hour before or after the concert and takes place in Foyer 2 (Tango). Starters begin 45 minutes before the concert in the Swing, across the cloakroom. Both are free to attend.
If you have any questions about your visit, please refer to our frequently asked questions or contact the box office at (070) 88 00 333 or kassa@amare.nl.
