Document background
The Grand Rights License agreement is a specialized contract used in the Netherlands when licensing dramatic-musical works for theatrical performance. It is distinct from small rights licenses as it covers the complete dramatic performance of works such as musicals, operas, and ballet productions. This document is essential when a theater producer or company wishes to stage such productions, requiring detailed provisions for artistic control, performance standards, and financial arrangements. The agreement must comply with Dutch copyright law (Auteurswet) and EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and international productions within the specified territory. It typically includes comprehensive terms for performance rights, creative control, royalty structures, and quality maintenance, ensuring all parties' interests are protected under Dutch jurisdiction.
