Het Muziektheater: Het Nationale Ballet

While it's tempting to pull a Knocked Up and take a few mushrooms and go see Cirque du Soleil, Amsterdam can give you one better. Have a coffee (with maybe a shot of liqueur to avoid the cold), and then trot over to Het Muziektheater for a performance by the Dutch National Ballet. It won't look nearly as messed up, but it'll make for a more memorable evening. And while many people associate the period of time between Thanksgiving and New Year's as Nutcracker Season, the Europeans are much more lax with the ballet--you're just as likely to see it in June as you are in December here. So it's no surprise that, instead of bringing Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" and "Waltz of the Flowers" to the stage, DNB is bringing one of Tchaikovsky's other works to life.

You'll recognize the score from Sleeping Beauty as being the same music that underscores the Disney film. Minus the words, that is. With a great orchestra in the pit, the success of this ballet rides on the dance company--the production (costumes, set), the choreography, and the dancers. DNB runs on all cylinders with this (and most of their) productions. To get your pre-game on, check out their uber-cool website, which currently streams an excerpt from their Sleeping Beauty. If sparkles and tutus are your thing, or if you can recite the flick Center Stage from memory, you've found a home here.

But here's the best part about countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium: for 10 Euro including postage (plus the ability to prove you're 26 and under and a proven student), you can get a CJP International Student Card. The CJP is good for a year, and will get you into a number of museums, galleries, and theatres for obscenely low prices. 9 Euro will get you a similar International Student Card that will apply to students up to 31 years old (although I know all of you reading this are perpetually 29). For Dutch National Ballet performances that are not sold-out, students with the goods to back it up can buy a ticket for 10 Euro ninety minutes before curtain-up. If you've long since left the days of being in your late 20s or student loans behind, fret not. You can get decent seats for under 30 Euro.
