Oude Luxor Theater
The Oude (old) Luxor Theatre on the Kruiskade is located near the Erasmus Bridge, across the Southbank River. Since its design in 1917 by famous architect Pieter Vermaas, the Luxor has been a platform for established cabaret talent, new comedy talents, charming stage productions, and musical concerts since the last 100 years.
Starting as a luxury cinema, it was converted to a theater in 1974 and recently in 2014; a renovation program that restored it to its previous glory. The theater hosts varied performances throughout the year, such as Wim Helsen, Urbanus, and others. During the last few years, the Oude Theater has surpassed the new one in popularity to become the ultimate entertainment theater in the whole of Rotterdam.
The lobby is relatively small, but can still accommodate 909 seats, that compromise 118 “love seats”. These loveseats are cozy, without a middle bar handle. Comfortable legroom and huge spacing, great acoustics, free wardrobe service are some plus points of the theater. Access to the theater by public transport is easy and convenient. However, it would be nice if the place had a bit more restrooms. The theater bar also serves only beer and wine, among the whole lot of alcoholic beverages. Smoking is also strictly prohibited inside the theater. The interiors including light streaks on walls and red, rusty chairs make sure that you get a real sense of antiquated theater experience.
Oude Luxor Theatre may be out of the way a little bit, but it is still close to many bars, decent cafes and a casino for refreshments and meetings.
