In recent years, there have been two important developments for the Danish music scene. The first was the opening of the Copenhagen Opera House in 2005 where ever since full houses have applauded the performances of the great European operas and some of Denmark's more recent contributions. The other was the completion of Danmarks Radio's Concert Hall in 2009 where the national broadcaster not only presents its orchestral music but also choirs, jazz, rock and pop.
Other important venues for music include:
- The Old Stage of the Royal Danish Theatre in the centre of Copenhagen where in particular performances of the Royal Danish Ballet can be seen.
- The Tivoli Concert Hall in the Tivoli Gardens where orchestral music, singers, jazz and other musical events feature in the programme every summer, frequently with the participation of the Tivoli Symphony Orchestra.
- Det Ny Theater in Copenhagen specializes in Danish productions of musicals.
- Musikhuset Aarhus, the Concert Hall of Aarhus, presents a wide variety of classical and popular music including singing and dance.
