FREE BUS TRANSPORT TO SCHOOL PERFORMANCES

We want to enable as many children as possible from all over the country to visit our school performances. Therefore, in the school year 2020-2021, schools can travel by bus to our theatre free of charge. Dutch National Opera & Ballet will take care of the organisation and the costs of bus transport to the school matinees, made possible by the Turing Foundation. (This option only applies to schools that are unable to use the Amsterdam Culture Bus or other local transport arrangements). More information about our school performances can be found here.
