A new venue has been built between the historic Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam and the Melkweg, to be used by the Stadsschouwburg, the Melkweg, and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. What is unusual about this auditorium is that the stage has been built 14 metres above street level, partly above the Melkweg concert auditorium. The auditorium has 600 seats and 900 standing spaces and can be used as a classic proscenium theatre as well as a concert hall or level-floored space. The stage can be used as a space in its own right and is equal to the largest level-floor space in the Netherlands. Stage-set trolleys are lifted up to the Rabozaal auditorium using a double lorry lift. The back of the stage is made entirely of glass. The glass wall, measuring 25 by 30 metres, can be closed off with electronically operated panels
