The Royal Theater is one of the most significant attractions of the Kingdom of Denmark. Dramatic performances, opera, and ballet have always been considered not just entertainment but a way of life. The whole great world was gathering in the foyer: someone came to the theater to show their best evening dresses, someone hoped to meet their future spouse, and someone wanted to enjoy the incomparable acting, ballerinas' pirouettes or singing of opera divas. Members of the royal family, headed by the queen and king, often honored the theater with their royal presence.

Almost nothing has changed since then. In the box, you can still see the reigning Queen of Denmark, and in the spacious foyer, the luxurious creations of the world fashion geniuses. Meanwhile, the Royal Theater is more than 200 years old.

The largest theater in the country was founded in 1748. The construction of its luxurious building on King's Square began by decree of King Frederick V. The project of the famous Danish architect Nicolai Eigtved was completed in record time. It took him less than a year to finish the building, so that theater could open its doors to the metropolitan public. The next Danish king, Christian VII, also patronized the Royal Theater, making it a truly royal court theater.

Throughout its history, the building has undergone many reconstructions and restorations. Initially, the auditorium could accommodate only 600 spectators. But today, it welcomes as many as 1600 visitors to enjoy the theater performance at the same time. The Royal Theater developed in all directions. At the end of the 18th century, the building became much taller, the central doors – wider, and the premises for decorations – much more spacious. In the middle of the 19th century, the auditorium was expanded and a new stage was built. At the beginning of the 20th century, the royal box appeared.

In the 19th century, the theater was expanded with a choreographic school and a drama theater school.
