Tivoli Concert Hall (Tivoli Konsert Salen)
This is the largest classical music venue in Copenhagen and seats more than 1900. There are all kinds of concerts taking place here, including symphony orchestras, operas, choirs, chamber music and more. The hall is also used for ballets. It is a unique space, and the interior was decorated by several leading Danish artists. The concert season runs from April to September, when Tivoli Gardens is open. Every Friday there is a rock music performance included in the cost of a ticket to the gardens, usually featuring well-known international artists such as Maria Carey and Elvis Costello, as well as some famous Danish groups such as The Raveonettes and Grand Avenue.

The Royal Theatre (Det Kongelige Teater)
The Copenhagen Royal Theatre has been at the centre of the city’s cultural life since it was built in the 18th century. The theatre as it now stands dates from 1874, but the original theatre was built in 1748. This is the home venue of the Danish Royal Opera, and several ballet and theatre companies perform here as well. The main auditorium has an excellent acoustic and an elegant circular shape.

Copenhagen Opera House
This recently opened hall is Denmark’s fisr venue built specifically as an opera house. A distinctive and modern building, it is a bulgy glass module on the harbour, with a roof that appears to float. The concert program is varied and energetic, with acts such as Elvis Costello’s The Secret Songs, opera classics like Tosca, and new musicals such as the 2007 show Matador. The classy main theatre is surrounded by a shiny wood globe, suspended like a Tibetan bead inside the glass outside walls. The stage revolves, so everyone gets to see everything. Tickets sell out fast, so it is best to reserve them well in advance.
