Experience the Royal Danish Theatre from inside and discover one of Denmark's most important cultural institutions. Behind the façade on Kongens Nytorv lies a building where history and art exist side by side – home to world-class ballet, opera, and drama for over 250 years.
During your guided tour through magnificent halls, you encounter sparkling chandeliers and gilded details. Our guide shares the theatre's history, the artists and audiences who have shaped the stage, and the traditions that continue to give the Old Stage new life today.
Behind the Scenes
