Stadsschouwburg Haarlem
If any industry has been hit hard in the past year, it is the events industry. Cinemas, festivals but also the theaters were not allowed to receive visitors. Stadsschouwburg Haarlem has also experienced this. They were forced to remain closed for months and no performances took place.
But the standstill of society also had some advantages. Time was now freed up to think about various maintenance work that would otherwise have been left behind due to the amount of shows that logically took precedence. And at a busy and popular location such as the old classic Stadsschouwburg in the heart of Haarlem, there is of course always room for improvement. That is why this was an excellent time to think about this a little longer and to think carefully about the redesign of certain areas and rooms within the theatre.
Together with Studio Linse, a renowned interior design studio from Amsterdam, points of interest were carefully reviewed, taking into account the appearance of the theater. Studio Linse loves charismatic locations, would like to respect the past, enjoy the present and look forward to the future. The city theater in Haarlem fits perfectly into this picture and that is why this collaboration turned out to be a bull's eye.
The classical twist of the theater had to be preserved, while it also had to radiate a certain tranquility to the visitors. There was also a wish that more unity should be applied to the interior. By working with certain recurring colors per floor, an explicit connection had to be made with the main hall, making it a pleasant environment for both visitor and artist.
Now it seems that more will soon be possible from the Dutch government and theaters can finally receive guests again for a night out. If so, Stadsschouwburg Haarlem is in any case ready for the future and can provide these people with an unforgettable evening.
