"The Royal Danish Opera is a home for the unmatched live experience of opera and symphonic music. We welcome artists and ideas from all over the world and export art made in Denmark to the world." - https://kglteater.dk/en/about-us/arts/the-royal-danish-opera
"The Copenhagen Opera House is a donation from the A.P. Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation to the Danish people.
It totals 41,000 square meters. Five of the fourteen stories are subterranean. The main stage of the opera seats an audience of 1400.
The Opera House is clad with southern German Jura Gelb limestone, and the foyer features Sicilian Perlatino marble. The wall of the auditorium facing the foyer is clad with maple wood, and the ceiling in the main auditorium is adorned with 105,000 sheets of 24-carat gold leaf, equivalent to 1.5 kilos of gold.
The Copenhagen Opera House is designed by Danish architect Henning Larsen, and several Danish artists have contributed to the decor, among them Per Kirkeby who has created four bronze reliefs, and Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson who has contributed the three light sculptures for the foyer." - https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/planning/royal-danish-opera-house-gdk422032
"The Opera is located on the Dock Island in the harbour of Copenhagen - in the middle of the inner harbour that lets the audience perceive the fabulous view of the Copenhagen skyline. The Opera features two architectonic elements under an extensive roof: A light foyer building comprising an audience auditorium and a heavier back building with the studio stage (seating 200), various rehearsal rooms for choir, orchestra, soloists and ballet as well as the 81 dressing rooms, workshops and administration. The building itself has an outside surface of Jura Gelb limestone. Canals have been dug to make the Opera look as if it were placed on an island just a bit larger than the building itself. The front of the opera was originally meant to have a large glass surface. However, as glass does not age well, the front was changed to have a metal grid in front of it. The foyer floor is Sicilian Perlatino marble. The wall of the auditorium towards the foyer, and the wood of the balconies, is maple wood. The ceiling inside the auditorium is made using 105,000 sheets of gold leafs, almost 24 carat (100%)." - https://architectuul.com/architecture/the-copenhagen-opera-house
