Copenhagen Opera House

Amazing evening here! I attended the opera Madame Butterfly, and it was an incredible experience. The building is impressive both inside and out. Spending an evening here is definitely a must in Copenhagen!

What a magical experience watching Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro here. Cannot put into words how it felt. Absolutely must visit if you’re in copenhagen. You can find cheap standing tickets even on the day of a show. Staff are friendly and very helpful. There is also a subtitle screen above the set which helped me understand the story massively.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Copenhagen Opera House, and I was truly impressed. The architecture is stunning, with every detail carefully designed to create a harmonious structure. The views from the building are absolutely breathtaking, and the overall experience is incredibly captivating and inspiring. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression, both for its beauty and the sense of awe it evokes.

The Copenhagen Opera House is built of luxurious materials, has reasonable sight lines, good acoustics, and well designed public spaces, including plenty of toilets. The view of the city across the water though the 4 story high glass facade is stunning. Otherwise, the design has not aged well and resembles a fancy contemporary subway station. Limited number of aisles in the auditorium makes getting to some seatz inconvenient. The main drawback is getting to the location, which is not well served by public transit. They helpfully provide plenty of special taxis, buses and ferry boats after the show, so leaving is less of a problem. .

We took the tour; it was just okay. I wouldn't say I liked the building, but the guide was very intervening. I recommend having a coffee in the building beside me. I love it—the curved one.

Great building. Unobstructed view to palace. Lovely interior, and it has a cafe so you can relax inside

Amazing building, I was lucky to be invented for an event. This gave us the chance to see the beautiful sunset from the terrace.

Very good acoustics and beautiful location. As a single visitor I could get a ticket for the 2nd parterre row in the middle at short notice. Tickets for all three KGL houses can be easily ordered via an app.

I have just been at Operaen for the first time. This is my thoughts about about the venue and the facilities. Operaen has just turned 10 years, and unfortunately it shows. It looks a bit worn out. This place should be a magical luxury palace for music, dance, entertainment. The feeling of magic and luxury evaporate, when e.g. seat covers are ready to be changed, tiles at especially staircases have pieces missing, and the cleaning is less than perfect. The artists make a big effort to put up a spectacular performance, but the surroundings but them down. Their is not a attention to details. Tables are but forward to put your empty glass after finishing your drink. How about table cloths at those tables? How about containers for your trash (you can buy sandwiches, which are served in a box). The entrance hall had piles of sandwich boxes all over the place. At the restrooms the bins were packed with paper towels. Operaen have a great potential. It is situated at that special place in the harbour just a the seaside with a look at Amaliehaven, Amalienborg and the wonderful Marmorkirke. It is spacious, and you can avoid to get cramped, if you just go to 2nd or the 3rd floor. Even with a full house. It looks like the artists have all the equipment and room to put of a show. Come early before a show (two hours I will say), because you have a lot to do. At ground level both to the left and right you can lay your coat for a small fee. Below level you can hang you coat for free, but their is no security. At every level you find bars with a small but very fine selection of beverages (avoid queues in the breaks and preorder), sandwiches, and snacks. Enjoy yourself, the other guests, the expectation, the views and so on. 30 minutes before the show they give a short introduction at 1st level to the left in the entrance hall. You can also eat dinner at the Operaen.

Went to the Opera with an official function. We saw La Traviata. Had the opportunity to tour the opera before dinner and performance. The ambience is impressive and the sound is perfect. This is a wonderful venue. We got their by boat (cold in October) but took a taxi home. The location is across from Amalienborg and on the line to the marble church. The location is impressive. The quality of the built is - nothing spared. The restaurant was OK, but the show was fantastic.

Visually it's a rather impressive building, BUT it's also quite an eyesore with that giant flat roof. It seemed like there was the opportunity here to make an impressive modern structure and then it was taken too far with the roof....

Nestled along the shipyards with a spectacular view of the Amalienborg palace and the Marble Church, this is one of the most modern opera houses in the world. The complex is quite large, with a beautiful lobby and a black box theatre. The main hall seats at least 1500 and it seems that there is not a bad seat in the house. Tickets start for as little as about EUR20 and there are day-of tix held on reserve.

Well, from outside the architecture is a bit painful mostly because of the highest part of the building and a desperate need of bragging about something that you don't really get. give a second chance to the first pompous impression you'll get and go inside. much nicer than one would expect. went to that opera couple of times. definitely not the best opera singers of Europe. nothing special (you're not in Berlin, Milan nor Paris) but then again if you buy the cheap places you spend a nice evening. the view from the roof is really beautiful. the building is the night is much more elegant and you will probably reach it taking a boat. what is sad is that you can't really walk there without having to go through a dodgy road. Forget about the nice post opera walk. you'll have to take the last boat/bus to go back to the centre. careful about one thing when you buy your tickets (the cheap ones) you'll get the right to get inside the chamber, but not to sit down. Imagine spending the 4 hours of a Wagner opera standing up. it kind of ruins it. if you don't pay in Copenhagen you won't get much.If opera is your cup of tea, go to Berlin, for twice less (from 12 euros) you'll be a sit and an incredibly good time.
