Theatres

When it is cold and dark outside, there is nothing better than an evening at the theatre. Copenhagen's cultural scene is rich and diverse with small, experimental and large stages. You can choose from ballet, dance, opera, concerts, experimental and traditional drama.

The Opera

The Royal Danish Opera at Holmen in Copenhagen is one of the world's most modern opera houses, donated to the Danish people by the AP Møller and Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller foundation. Here, you can experience Danish and international opera, but also concerts, ballet and drama. 

The Royal Danish Playhouse

The newest addition to The Royal Danish Theatre, The Royal Danish Playhouse on Copenhagen's waterfront, is highly tailored to theatre at the highest level.

With up to 650 seats for the spectacular experience, 100 seats for the exclusive and just 200 seats for the intimate experience, The Playhouse adjusts itself smoothly to individual performances, forms and expressions. Here you can enjoy mainly Scandinavian plays, but also ballet.

The Royal Danish Theatre's Old Stage  

The Royal Theatre's Old Stage at Kongens Nytorv in the heart of Copenhagen is from the late 1800's. The interior is glamorous with red velvet and crystal chandeliers. Here, you can enjoy virtually all forms of Danish and international theatre, ballet, opera, plays and concerts.

Det Ny Teater

Det Ny Teater - The New Theatre - is from 1908 and is known for carrying on fine traditions with great attention to quality. The country's first revolving stage was introduced here.

With more than 1,000 seats and 12,000 square metre, the theatre is one of the largest theaters in Denmark and the most visited. Big internationally known musicals often headline the repertoire.

Camp X

Camp X in the district of Frederiksberg experiments with the theatre and sees how far it can bend and stretch and still be called theatre. Camp X has two stages, Aveny  and Rialto , and often presents international artists and performances.
