The Protected Maître Amadeus Dining-Theatre Format
What the Protected Format Represents
The Protected Maître Amadeus Dining-Theatre Format represents a uniquely crafted artistic and gastronomic concept in which music, timing, presence and storytelling merge into a refined intermezzo during exclusive dining occasions.
Rather than functioning as entertainment beside the dinner, the format operates within the dinner — enhancing the atmosphere from the inside out.
Every element is designed with intention: the duration, the narrative arc, the musical choices, the physical movement through the room, and the relationship to what is served at the table.
All these components form a single, cohesive artistic language that distinguishes the Maître Amadeus experience from any traditional performance.

Created and Performed Exclusively by the Creator Himself
The Maître Amadeus format is entirely conceived, developed and performed by its creator, Roy ter Haar.
It has evolved over many years of refinement and is not reproducible or transferable. The essence of the format lies in the performer’s unique blend of vocal skill, timing, presence, improvisational awareness and the ability to interact with the culinary flow of an evening.
For that reason, the Maître Amadeus format is performed only by the creator himself.
This ensures authenticity, artistic integrity and the consistent, high-level quality required for the intimate, executive and gala settings in which it appears.

Why a Protected Dining-Theatre Concept Matters
In a landscape where entertainment formats are often interchangeable, the Protected Maître Amadeus Concept offers assurance of originality and artistic identity.
It guarantees clients and venues that what they are booking is:
-
a concept with a defined structure and artistic foundation•
-
a performance that cannot be replicated by others
-
a distinctive contribution to the character of their event
-
an experience that exists only in this specific form
For corporate hosts, gala organisers and esteemed private clients, the protected nature of the format ensures exclusivity: a moment that cannot be acquired elsewhere.
How the Format Elevates Executive, Gala and Private Dinners
The protected format works precisely because it is subtle, short and elegantly placed.
It enhances the dining experience without interrupting its flow — a crucial requirement in executive, fundraising and intimate high-end dinners.
The intermezzo:
• adds warmth, atmosphere and sophistication
• creates a shared moment for guests without demanding attention
• bridges courses, transitions or speeches with grace
• strengthens the narrative and purpose of the evening
• brings cultural refinement without becoming theatrical intrusion
This rare balance of presence and restraint is what defines the Maître Amadeus signature.

Practical Notes on Usage, Variations and Integrity
The Protected Format offers several refined variations, such as the 7-minute Private Dining Edition and the Dual Intermezzo Edition for larger gala evenings.
Regardless of the version, the structure, aesthetic principles and artistic ownership remain unchanged.
Use of the Maître Amadeus name, character or format outside the performance itself is not permitted.
All enquiries about collaborations, adaptations or international engagements are handled personally and discreetly, ensuring that each performance aligns with the artistic standards of the format.
