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. It is one of the main theatrical venues in the city as well as the home of the Danish Royal Opera, and ballet companies perform here as well. The main auditorium has an excellent acoustic and an elegant circular shape.
Stærekassen
This theatre is part of the Royal Theatre, though a separate venue. The Stærekassen is dedicated to contemporary drama, primarily Danish, but some classics are performed here as well. There are also some smaller-scale opera and dance performances. The theatre was built in 1931 and seats 775.
Turbinehallerne
This unique theatre used to be a power station, and is now also affiliated with the Copenhagen Royal Theatre. It is primarily used for experimental theatre, and is a flexible and atmospheric venue that often surprises. It is usually used only for drama, though some contemporary dance performances take place here occasionally.
Det Ny Teater
The name of this theatre means “The New Theatre,” and it is one of Copenhagen’s main dramatic venues. There are a wide variety of plays put on here, mainly in Danish, though occasionally in other languages, as well as some major musicals. Many of the dramas put on here are large-scale, and famous theatrical companies from all over the world perform here. The auditorium is striking because of its large size and gilded walls.
