More than twenty years ago, the Schouwburg Rotterdam opened at the Theatre Square. In October 2010 architect Wim Quist started to rebuilt the whole areal. After this renovation the theater turned into an popular urban meeting point. The activities of Schouwburg Rotterdam cover dance, theater and music programming for a broad audience – from the youngest to the most seasoned opera lover. Theater Rotterdam originated from the merger of Ro Theater, Rotterdamse Schouwburg and Productionhuis Rotterdam.
