Bellevue Teatret, Modernist theatre in Klampenborg, Denmark.
Bellevue Teatret is a modernist theatre in Klampenborg seating roughly 700 patrons with a retractable roof design. The interior features mosaic decorations throughout, with walls and balconies finished in canvas and bamboo materials.
Architect Arne Jacobsen designed the theatre in 1936 as part of a larger coastal development project. It was built alongside Bellevue Beach and residential blocks as a comprehensive modernization initiative.
The theatre stages modern music performances and rock musicals as its main programming. Each summer, it hosts traditional ballet performances featuring the Copenhagen International Ballet company.
Diners can reserve meals at Øvre Bar or the terrace ahead of performances, with advance notice of a few days recommended. The seaside location provides easy access and allows visitors to spend time outdoors before or after shows.
The front curtain features a painted beach girl created by artist Åge Sikker Hansen, symbolizing the theatre's coastal connection. This artistic touch at the entrance gives the space a personal character that reminds visitors of their seaside surroundings.
