Folketeatret, Municipal theatre in Nørregade, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Folketeatret is a theatre in Copenhagen with three separate performance spaces: the main stage holds 600 people, a second stage accommodates 200 visitors, and a third space is dedicated to children's shows. These varied rooms allow different types of productions to run at the same venue.
The building dates to 1822 when it first served as a brewery, then was converted to a circus venue in 1845. In 1857 it became a theatre under the direction of Hans Wilhelm Lange, establishing what exists today.
The theatre stages a mix of traditional Danish plays alongside contemporary productions that appeal to different age groups. This programming helps keep theatre alive across many communities throughout the country.
All three performance spaces include accessible seating for visitors with mobility needs. You can arrange group visits or private events ahead of time by contacting the venue directly.
The theatre's smallest stage is specially designed for its youngest audience members, staging performances created for children between three and eight years old. This dedicated children's programming introduces theatre to young people early in their lives.
