Royal Danish Theatre Copenhagen

If you are lodged on the square called Kongens Nytorv, your budget hotel in Copenhagen is near the Royal Danish Theater. This late 19th century building at the southern end of the square is known locally as Det Kongelige Teater. Famed storyteller Hans Christian Andersen once tried, and failed, to court a ballerina here. The theater was one of the few places where ballet, opera and drama were all performed under one roof. Now only ballet is performed on the venerable stage.
