The iconic Langelinie Pavillonen stands in the middle of central Copenhagen's backyard, next to the Citadel (military barracks since 1626), overlooking the sea, and just some steps away from Denmark’s darling, the Little Mermaid. Built in 1956 by architect couple Eva and Niels Koppel, two of the most prominent post-war Danish architects, the current house is packed with furniture and decorations from the golden age of Danish design. Some of Denmark’s most talented architects and designers such as Poul Henningsen, Børge Mogensen and Verner Panton have worked with the building down to the smallest detail of interior decorating.

The Royal Danish Theatre has been located at Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen since 1748, originally designated as the king's theatre but with public access. This was the theatre to which the 14-year-old fairy-tale storyteller Hans Christian Andersen devoted his early ambition and which became the social and artistic focal point of the many brilliant artists of Denmark's Golden Age.

After the abolition of absolute monarchy in 1849, the Royal Danish Theatre's status as 'the city's theatre' fell into decline. The dilapidated building at Kongens Nytorv also found it hard to compete with the splendour of the new popular stage that were rapidly emerging across town. The solution was to construct a brand new theatre building: the inauguration of what we today call the Old Stage took place on 15 October 1874.

The Royal Danish Theatre has over the past decade undergone the most extensive transformation ever in its over 250-year history. The Opera House in Copenhagen was inaugurated in January 2005, (designed by architect Henning Larsen), the Royal Danish Playhouse was completed in 2008. Located by Nyhavn Canal across from the Opera House, the Playhouse is designed by architects Boje Lundgaard and Lene Tranberg. Today, the Royal Danish Theatre comprises the Old Stage, the Opera House and the Royal Danish Playhouse.
