Copenhagen Opera House, Opera house in Copenhagen, Denmark
The Copenhagen Opera House is a fourteen-story building with five underground levels built for performances and cultural events. The main stage holds around 1400 people and uses advanced acoustic technology.
The building was gifted to the Danish state by the A.P. Møller Foundation and opened in 2005. Its arrival marked a turning point for opera culture in the city.
Danish artists shaped the interior spaces with works including Per Kirkeby's bronze reliefs and Olafur Eliasson's light installations in the foyer. You encounter these pieces as you move through the building.
The building is fully wheelchair accessible, allowing everyone to move through it comfortably. You can buy tickets by phone, online, or at the box office before a show.
The main auditorium ceiling sparkles with layers of gold leaf applied across its surface. This shimmering quality becomes apparent the moment you step into the hall.
