Location
The Copenhagen Opera House (in Danish usually called Operaen, literally The opera) is the national opera house of Denmark, and among the most modern opera houses in the world. It is also one of the most expensive opera houses ever built with construction costs well over US$500 million.[ It is located on the island of Holmen in central part of Copenhagen harbor, just opposite the main castle Amalienborg at the shore of the harbor. The opera house is built in alignment with Amalienborg and The Marble Church, so that if one stands in the main entrance of the Opera, one can see the Marble Church over the water along the road through Amalienborg. The specific part of the island where the Opera was built is named Dokøen, which means the Dock Island. It is part of the old naval base in Copenhagen. The two cranes seen in the left side of the photo that was removed during the construction of the opera house. This caused a lot of problems because they are very old. It was therefore ordered that they should be restored as they were originally. Just a few meters west of the opera, one can still see an old dock and a pumping station.The island where the Opera House is located is part of the old naval base in Copenhagen. The opera house was commissioned in 2005.Time

I've always enjoyed walking around the town early in the morning, and it offers some other options as there is a special light and quite a few people.Editing
