2017 saw the Holland Festival celebrate its 70th anniversary and the return of several makers who enriched the festival throughout its history. Romeo Castellucci, Alain Platel and Robert Lepage presented new work, and Stockhausen was on the programme once more. Two previous festival directors presented new work: Ivo van Hove made new performances with the Dutch National Opera and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. Pierre Audi directed Monteverdi’s Mariavespers, which opened at the Gashouder in the Westergas area.
The festival also focused on the state of democracy, and on Indonesia, with a host of Indonesian artists, from Garin Nugroho to Jompet Kuswidananto.

Welcome to the Holland Festival archive! The history of our festival dates back to 1947. Through the programs of each festival edition we aim to tell this history here. Currently our archive has been digitised from 1990 onwards, more history is to follow soon. Sadly some information is only available in Dutch but we aim to be as bilingual as possible. For additions or tips send an email to [email protected].
