The new Danish opera house is a stunning modern building set directly across the harbour from the “Marble Church” and the Amalienborg palace and is fast becoming a key landmark that appears on postcards and in tourist brochures. A gift to the Danish people from the Moeller foundation, a charitable trust connected with the Maersk container shipping group, it is a venue for opera and music all year round. It is a world-class venue, seating 1400. It has fifteen floors featuring more than 1000 separate rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms and offices. It is regarded as being of outstanding architectural interest. Guided tours are available and may be booked on the Royal Theatre’s website.
