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.
The restaurant is called Opéra, is it surprising that it's at the old operahouse?
Palais Garnier is an operahouse built between 1861-75, as part of Baron Haussmann's dressing Paris in Second Empire architecture.
The architect was Charles Garnier (1825–98), who won the 1861 selection competition. The building is constructed in the Second Empire, Beaux Arts style.
The building was originally known as Salle des Capucines (since it is sited on Boulevard des Capucines), but the building was also known as 'Palais Garnier' or 'Opéra Garnier'.
