This is a terrible room. We have visited many theaters, but we have never had such a bad view of the stage. And that while we still had expensive places. The height difference of the hall seats is so small that you always look at the heads in front of you. The adults for us also had problems with that. They therefore decided to take booster cushions for children during the break so they could see it better.
That is then an unpleasant surprise if you are behind these smart guys (that did not last long). It is incomprehensible to us that the designers of this space have not even started testing themselves in the auditorium. Then they would have immediately discovered what we also noticed: because you constantly have to look among the heads in front of you, you do not enjoy a moment of the performance: for us that was Cats, undoubtedly fantastic if you see it in any other theater than this Rai hall.
This is one of the largest theaters in Amsterdam, but without doubt the worst. We will never go here again.
