I have just been at Operaen for the first time. This is my thoughts about about the venue and the…read morefacilities. 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.

Wow. What a place. I was here for John Carpenter's film scores and they sounded magnificent in this…read morerelatively small space. Clear, big sound is something you'll have to look for forever in Copenhagen, since most of the venues here have absolutely dreadful, mushy sound. Bit this place is made for music and it feels almost magic in here. The seats are comfortable, and allows you to really flow into the music, not to mention that it's easy to find them. That's right. Here you don't have to stress out before the concert because you can't find anything and run around like an ill-adviced rocket.

Love this place. I've been to both classical, metal and, pop concerts here. Just be aware, it was…read morenot meant for a standing audience. However, the sound in all 4 halls is fenomenal, and isn't that the main reason for going to a concert. 'Koncerthuset' was drawn by architect Jean Nouvel and built from 2003-2009. It is part of 'DR Byen', and located in the northern part of Ørestad. It also has its own metro station. The concert complex consists of a main concert hall seating 1,800 people, and three additional smaller halls (recording studios). Moreover, it's the home of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra.
