Now The Hague’s International and Expat community can meet for an evening of culture and cuisine.

One weekend a month, the Zeeheldentheater hosts XPECTACOLO: an extravaganza of local history, fine food and memorable music and dance! 

LOCAL FLAVOURS BUFFET
Delight in our locally produced, seasonal organic food accompanied by carefully matched wines. Finalizing with coffee and friandises. Menu composed by chef Sylvester Wielenga and tv-chef René Pluijm. 

XPECTACULAR SHOW
Journey through time and space with our host. Experience The Hague’s history in drama and song. Enjoy music and dance from the four corners of the earth. Be entertained by our performers’ take on Ravel, the Beatles and everything in-between. 

Your all-singing, all-dancing host for the evening is the multitalented Rinus Sprong of the Dutch Don’t Dance Division. He will sing and talk you through repertoire comprising musical songs ('Big Spender', 'These Boots are made for Walking' 'Puttin on a Show'), French chansons (Jacques Brel’s 'La Chanson des vieux Amants'), Spanish pieces (Garcia Llorca’s 'Giraba la Rueda' and Alberto Iglesias’ 'Habla con ella') as well as some lovely Dutch ditties (e.g. Paul de Leeuw’s 'Ik heb je lief'). 

The program also features enchanting dances to music from South America and Africa and a Beatles medley. 

Do you know why The Hague is known as City of Peace and Justice? Raconteur Rinus will explain by telling you all about local heroes Hugo de Groot, Baruch de Spinoza and Christiaan Huygens. 

All Xpectacolo performers will assure you enjoy an unforgettable evening.
