Det Ny Teater
Lavish 1908 musical theatre palace spanning a historic passage between Vesterbro and Frederiksberg, blending Belle Époque grandeur with modern, big-stage productions.
Det Ny Teater on Gammel Kongevej is one of Copenhagen’s grandest theatre buildings, a richly decorated 1908 playhouse spanning a passage between Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. Behind its French baroque façade you find a lavish main auditorium with around 1,000 seats, an intimate secondary stage and a cosy basement restaurant. Today the privately run theatre is best known for large-scale productions of international musicals, combining ornate old-world architecture with modern stage technology.

Local tips
- Arrive 20–30 minutes before curtain to explore the passage, climb the sweeping staircases and take in ceiling details and chandeliers before the auditorium fills.
- If you are tall or prefer extra legroom, aim for aisle seats or front rows on the balconies, as some sections of the historic stalls can feel quite tight.
- Combine your visit with dinner at Teaterkælderen in the basement or at one of the many nearby restaurants on Gammel Kongevej and Vesterbrogade.
- Check language details when booking; most productions are in Danish, and some international musicals may use adapted translations or surtitles.
- In colder months use the cloakroom to avoid juggling coats in the narrow rows and stairways of the old building during intervals.

Getting There
-
Metro and walk from central Copenhagen
From central Copenhagen, take the M3 or M4 metro line to København H and continue one stop to Forum or Copenhagen Central, then walk 10–15 minutes along the main streets to Gammel Kongevej. Trains and metro run every few minutes throughout the day, and a standard single zone ticket within the city typically costs around 20–25 DKK. Pavements are wide and well lit, but note that cobblestones near the theatre entrance can be uneven for some visitors.
-
City bus along Vesterbrogade or Gammel Kongevej
Several city bus lines run along Vesterbrogade and Gammel Kongevej with stops a short walk from Det Ny Teater, giving easy access from Nørreport, Rådhuspladsen and Frederiksberg. Daytime frequencies are commonly 5–10 minutes, with reduced service late evening. A bus ticket within the central zones usually costs 20–25 DKK and can be bought via ticket machines or mobile app. Buses kneel at the curb, offering relatively easy boarding for those with reduced mobility.
-
Bicycle from inner districts
From most inner-city districts, cycling to Det Ny Teater takes about 10–20 minutes via Copenhagen’s segregated bike lanes, which run along both Vesterbrogade and Gammel Kongevej. Public bike-share schemes and many hotels offer rental bicycles, typically from around 80–150 DKK per day. Be prepared for busy commuter traffic around show times and use the dedicated bike parking areas near side streets rather than locking directly to the theatre railings.
-
Taxi or rideshare within Copenhagen
A taxi ride from central hubs such as Kongens Nytorv or Nørreport to Det Ny Teater usually takes 10–15 minutes outside rush hour. Fares within the inner city often fall in the 120–200 DKK range depending on traffic and time of day. Taxis can drop passengers close to the entrances on Gammel Kongevej or Vesterbrogade, which is convenient for visitors with limited mobility, though short waits are common after evening performances.

Discover more about Det Ny Teater
A Belle Époque landmark in Copenhagen’s theatre belt
Det Ny Teater rises like a gilded wedding cake between Gammel Kongevej and Vesterbrogade, its French-inspired baroque frontage crowned with sculpted figures and decorative stonework. Completed in 1908 as part of a larger passage complex, the building physically links two busy streets and symbolically bridges the city districts of Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. Inside, sweeping staircases, marble details and warm lighting create a sense of arrival that feels more like an opera house than a neighbourhood theatre. The façade is mirrored on both sides of the passage, so whether you enter from Vesterbro or Frederiksberg you step straight into the same grand theatrical world. Look up to catch ornamental ceilings and period fixtures that survived both decades of busy repertoire and a long closure in the late 20th century. The theatre’s setting in Copenhagen’s historic entertainment quarter means cafés, bars and city life buzz right outside its doors, but once you cross the threshold the atmosphere shifts to plush, old-world glamour.From early drama house to musical powerhouse
The story of Det Ny Teater begins in the early 1900s, when a development company bought a worn-down apartment block here and envisioned a new cultural anchor with theatre, shops and restaurants. After a famously troubled construction process and a change of architect midway, the theatre opened in September 1908 as Denmark’s second-largest stage, with a rotating platform that was then a technological novelty. Its early years saw lavish plays and star actors, quickly establishing it as a serious rival to the Royal Danish Theatre. Over the decades the repertoire shifted with changing directors, from classical drama to contemporary European works and eventually towards musical theatre. Financial ups and downs, and a worn building, forced a closure in 1990, but a major restoration and modernisation followed. When the doors reopened in 1994, Det Ny Teater emerged as a privately run musical theatre, geared towards large-scale productions like Phantom of the Opera, The Sound of Music, Chess and Anastasia. Today it remains a flagship for big-budget musicals in Denmark, while still honouring its dramatic roots on smaller stages within the complex.Inside the auditorium: gold leaf, red velvet and clever stagecraft
Step into the main auditorium and you are wrapped in a cocoon of red upholstery, gilded ornamentation and tiered balconies. The horseshoe-shaped room holds around a thousand seats spread across stalls and multiple balconies, with private boxes punctuating the side walls. Crystal chandeliers drip from the ceiling, and painted decorative panels add to the sense of early 20th-century opulence. Despite its size, the room feels surprisingly intimate when the lights dim and the orchestra strikes up. Behind the decorative plasterwork lies thoroughly updated stage machinery. The original revolving stage has been enhanced with modern rigging, lifts, lighting grids and sound systems that allow for quick scene changes and cinematic effects. This technical backbone is what makes it possible to host demanding productions with large casts, complex choreography and elaborate sets. Smaller performance spaces such as the more intimate Sceneriet and the Balletsalen upstairs allow the theatre to present chamber productions, concerts or seasonal shows in a very different, close-up atmosphere.Dining, intervals and the social side of a night at the theatre
A visit to Det Ny Teater is as much about the overall evening as the performance itself. The foyer bars serve interval drinks and snacks, and the buzz between acts spills out across landings and staircase landings filled with people comparing notes. In the vaulted basement, Teaterkælderen offers a themed restaurant experience where meals are often linked to current productions, sometimes with theatrical décor or nods to costumes and characters. It is a popular spot for pre-show dinners and post-show drinks. The passage threading beneath the theatre connects you directly to shops and eateries on both sides, making it easy to combine a performance with a wider evening out in the city. Cloakrooms handle coats and umbrellas in colder months, while attentive ushers help guide visitors through the maze of staircases, levels and doors. The overall mood is festive yet relaxed, with people dressed for an occasion but rarely formal.Planning your visit and making the most of the setting
Det Ny Teater operates a varied programme through most of the year, typically running one major musical for an extended period alongside selected special events. Performances are usually in Danish, often with translated librettos for international shows, and some productions incorporate surtitles for non-Danish speakers. Evening shows dominate the schedule, with selected matinees on weekends and holidays. The theatre’s central location means it fits nicely into a day exploring Vesterbro’s cafés, Frederiksberg’s leafy streets or the shopping stretch along Gammel Kongevej. Expect traditional theatre seating with limited legroom in some areas, a quirk of the historic layout. Those who prefer more space can look to aisle seats or balcony front rows when booking. Arriving a little early lets you linger over the architectural details, soak up the pre-show ambience in the foyers and find your way without rush through one of Copenhagen’s most atmospheric cultural buildings.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
