Theatre and Dance
Whilst the state subsidizes every ticket at the showpiece Det Kongelige Teater to the tune of 2000kr, the majority of the city's theatres have to compete for limited government funds - more alternative performance groups often struggle to compete with traditional, state-funded ensembles or theatres. A few youthful and dynamic theatres and companies have recently appeared, though as they only stage Danish-language productions, they're unlikely to be of interest to most visitors. London Toast Theatre is a British company that performs English-language light comedies and musicals in the mainstream city theatres. Copenhagen has a small but thriving dance scene - although there's only one venue, Dansescenen, specifically devoted to this, other theatres occasionally stage dance performances. Ticket prices can be steep even for fringe performances: expect to pay at least 150kr, though seats may be cheaper if bought late on the day of performance. A free monthly programme, Teater Kalendern , is available at the theatres themselves and at the Wonderful Copenhagen and Use It tourist offices. Tickets to nearly all performances can be bought via Billetnet. Dansescenen Oster Faelled Torv 34, Osterbro tel 35 43 58 58 Bus #6, #14, #18, #650S. The only place in Copenhagen with regular performances of modern dance, showcasing top Scandinavian ensembles on its two stages. Folketeatret Nørregade 39, Indre By tel 33 93 96 93 Bus #5, #14, #16 or Nørreport S-Tog. One of the oldest theatres in town, with three auditoriums. The main stage (Store Scene) tends to show family-oriented stuff; the smaller Hippodromen shows more experimental work; while the tiny youth stage (Ung Scene) maintains a low entry price (60kr) for its avowedly fringe performances. Det Kongelige Teater Kongens Nytorv, Indre By tel 33 69 69 69 www.kgl-teater.dk Bus #1, #6, #10 or #31. Copenhagen's flagship state theatre, with two stages and a permanent troupe who perform a variety of mainstream contemporary and older plays. Tickets bought from the box office after 5pm on the day of performance are reduced by fifty percent, and you can also book online up to seven days in advance. Tickets not available through Billetnet. Ostre Gasvaerk Nyborggade 17, Osterbro tel 39 27 71 77 www.oestre-gasvaerk.dk Bus #6, #14, #650S or Svanemøllen S-Tog. Set in an old gasworks, this is one of the hippest theatres in town, with new plays aimed largely at a younger audience - don't expect weighty classics. Also hosts modern dance shows from time to time.
