Det Ny Theater

Det Ny Theater is a large theatrical venue in the Vesterbro district that features a main auditorium with around 1000 seats and a smaller stage called Sceneriet in the basement. The building occupies a substantial footprint between two major streets and houses multiple performance spaces across its levels.

The building opened in 1908 after King Frederik personally helped secure the necessary operating license for the development company. At that time, royal intervention was often needed to make large commercial projects happen in the city.

The venue has become a center for musical productions and contemporary performances that draw audiences from across the city since its renovation. The shows shape the cultural life of the neighborhood and create a regular gathering place for theater audiences.

The venue is conveniently located between two major streets and is easy for visitors to find and reach. The different entrance levels provide good access to the performance spaces on the main floor and basement.

The building was revolutionary for its time because the balconies were constructed without supporting pillars, which was a technical innovation back then. This reinforced concrete construction method allowed for a spacious interior without visible supports.
