The Copenhagen Opera House was completed in 2004 and in 2005 Copenhagen found one of its most prestigious venue for the Royal Opera House and the Royal Opera Playhouse.

The ultra modern building was designed by Henning Larsen and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller- forming the perfect partnership to solve architectural problems while still keeping in sync with its ground-breaking design. The floor to ceiling glass windows, use of Jura Gelb limestone, canals that separated the building from the surrounding and bridges made from Oak trees, only scratch the surface of its architectural style.

The place consist of a 6 main stage (1 for performances and 5 for rehearsals) and an experimental theatre space (fondly called ‘Black Box’ or ‘Takkelloftet’). The place uses state-of-the-art technology to make the most of Opera and Ballet and also has a movable ballet floor, stage elevators and some of the best acoustically designed spaces in the world. When here, don’t forget to take a backstage tour of the Opera House- a delight for curious visitors! Also, visit the popular attractions in the city by following Copenhagen itinerary 2 days.
