TivoliVredenburg

Under one roof in central Utrecht, TivoliVredenburg hosts five concert halls that span the musical spectrum. The sound earns consistent praise: reviews call out the acoustics and the staggered overhead speakers that make shows sound wonderful. Most performances are standing admissions only, with no seating in the theater, though one visitor notes that a great view is possible from anywhere, except perhaps behind the tall Dutch crowd in the front row of seats. Bars are scattered throughout, offering a good choice of drinks on tap, and automated lockers let you stash coats and bags for a few euros.
