"The Royal Danish Theatre was founded in 1748 by King Frederik 5th and the current building opened in 1874. The Royal Danish Ballet, was founded together with the Theater in 1748 and is one of the oldest ballet companies in the world. This was the theatre to which the 14-year-old fairytale storyteller Hans Christian Andersen devoted his early ambition to become a ballet dancer. The Royal Theater is a part of 3 venues in copenhagen: The Old Stage at The Royal Theater (Gamle Scene): The Old Stage is the main venue for ballet. It has a traditional and ornate interior, hosting a wide range of theatrical productions, including classical plays and contemporary works. The Royal Opera House (Operaen): The Royal Opera House is dedicated to opera performances. It is known for its modern architecture and serves as the primary venue for the Royal Danish Opera as well as the Royal Danish Ballet. The Royal Playhouse (Skuespilhuset): The Royal Playhouse is a modern venue that opened in 2008. It hosts drama performances and is located on the waterfront, providing scenic views of the city. The box offices at The Royal Opera House, The Royal Playhouse and The Old Stage are only open on days with performances, from 2 hours prior to the performance. Get behind the stage where stageworkers work and visit the tailors where adventurous costumes for all the theater's performances are created. On the Old scene you will also have a look into H.M. Queen Margrethe 2's private salon. The tour takes about 90 minutes and is conducted in both English and danish. A tour costs €20.

"The Royal Theater in Copenhagen (Danish: Det Kongelige Teater) is the national theater of Denmark. It is located in the square known as Kongens Nytorv, in the center of the city. It was founded in 1748 at the initiative of King Frederick V, and since its beginnings it has stood out for being a multipurpose stage, presenting dramatic art, opera, ballet and orchestra activities. It has had several demolitions and renovations, mainly the theater from 1857 and the one from 1874, for which there was a competition in which the best architects in Denmark participated, with Ove Petersen's design winning. In front of the current building you can see the bronze statues of the playwrights Adam Oehlenschläger and Ludvig Holberg."
Sasha Scherg
"Built in 1748 and designed by Nicolai Eigtved, it's renowned for its opulent architecture and rich cultural history, hosting world-class theatrical productions."
