Opened on January 15, 2005, the Opera is located in Copenhagen just opposite the winter castle of the Royal Family, Amalienborg at the shore of the harbor. The opera house is built in alignment with Amalienborg and Frederik’s Church, so that if one stands in the main entrance of the Opera, one can see Frederik’s Church over the water along the road through Amalienborg.
Besides being accessible by car and bus, the House can also be accessed by boat, and the public transportation system in Copenhagen makes it possible to get a boat-ride to the Opera using a normal bus ticket.
