With historic film clips and audio recordings, Until the curtain
falls brings the theatrical history of the Hollandsche
Schouwburg to life. The emphasis is on the concerts, plays, revues,
and operettas performed there up to 1942 (such as the première of
Herman Heijermans' play Op hoop van zegen (The Good Hope) in 1900).
Many of the featured songs inspired later generations, and today,
they are reminders of a rich and illustrious past. Heintje Davids,
Sylvain Poons, and Esther de Boer van Rijk (the leading lady in Op
hoop van zegen) are just a few of the stars that you can see and
hear in Until the curtain falls.
Until the curtain falls (15 minutes in length, with English
subtitles) will be on continuous display every day in the entrance
hall of the Hollandsche Schouwburg.
