Royal Theatre
The Royal Theatre on Kongens Nytorv was built in 1748. The tradition of a royal theatre with opera and ballet dates back several hundred years. A Royal Chapel was founded during the thirteenth century. Its heir is the orchestra of the opera and ballet in the new opera house.
The Norwegian composer and conductor Johan Svendsen was kapellmeister at the Royal Theatre from 1883 until his death, in 1911.
