The Interior Copenhagen Opera House
Description
The design is reminiscent of the Concert Hall at Lucerne, Switzerland by architect Jean Nouvel*. When I visited Copenhagen in 2002 Holmen was a dull naval base cut off from the city; a recent visit in 2005 shows the huge cantilevers dominating the harbour from Knippelsbro. The Danish Architecture Centre is located just to the west in the lovely old quarter of Christianshavn. Due to being located across the harbour from the centre of Copenhagen the Opera building is still quite out of the way, quite a walk from the Strøget.
The Copenhagen Opera House was given to the people of Denmark, the AP Møller Foundation in October 2004. This boldly modern opera house is managed by Det Kongelige Teater for ballet + opera. Located in Dokoen / Holmen on a promontory of the platform is Christianshavn in the center of the city building is 14 floors, five of which are underground. Culture & Congress Centre was completed in 2000 as the designs have been prepared for the opera, doubtless influenced Henning Larsen. Jean Nouvel has been commissioned to design a concert hall of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation. Scottish Society Mike Stoane lighting fires, while Speirs Major Associates provided lighting design. Acoustic design was by Arup Acoustics Henning Larsens Tegnestue. The site was gifted by Maersk Mc-Kinney Møller, the richest citizens of Denmark. Maersk is one of the largest companies in the world of logistics shipping at the time of writing, namely the handling of shipping containers, but are involved in other sectors.
