🩰 You can watch the film Coppelia on @BBCTwo today at 18.15 GMT! The movie is based on the modern translation that @TedBrandsen made in 2008 of the classical 19th century ballet into the story of the German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann.

Our current smaller theatre, Boekmanzaal, will be transformed into a brand new space: Studio Boekman, in the new year.
With this transformation we create a stage for up-and-coming talent, and a place where diverse audiences can come together to enjoy innovative programming (2/3)
