Gain unique insight into the Royal Chapel through this guided tour. You are taken through the Opera's history and architecture, from the world's oldest orchestra founded in 1448 to the modern world-class ensemble comprising over 100 musicians today.
The tour begins in the Opera's impressive foyer and leads you into the heart of the music. You gain insight into the orchestra pit's mysteries—how musicians sit, communicate, and collaborate under the conductor's leadership. Weather permitting, you descend into the pit itself and experience the space where the magic happens.
You go behind the scenes and encounter life beyond the premieres: the intense rehearsal process, the high discipline among elite musicians, and the packed schedule of operas, ballets, and concerts. In the orchestra rehearsal room, you discover the audition process, instrument care, and how the Chapel collaborates with other world-class orchestras.
A remarkable opportunity to understand the musicians' world and the orchestra's significance in Danish cultural life.
