Parken, Øster Alle 50, T 35433131. Awesome 41,000-capacity national stadium with retractable roof. Think Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Robbie Williams. Pumpehuset, Studiestræde 52, T 33931960. A 600-capacity venue often showcasing local rock, pop and indie talents gaining momentum. Vega, Enghavevej 40, T 33257011, http://www.vega.dk Located in the urban chic of Vesterbro, this seminal live- music venue with a capacity of 1500 has attracted the likes of Bowie, Bjork and Prince. Copenhagen is currently raising the profile of opera with the building of a new opera house at Holmen, close to the city centre. Until the grand opening, scheduled for 2005, the city’s operatic repertoire centres around two, very different, key venues. Den Anden Opera, Kronprinsengade 7, T 33323830, http://www.denandenopera.dk ’The Other Opera’ is the small (100 capacity) home of contemporary chamber opera. Since 1995 it has continually commissioned and produced two to three new works every season. Experimental and explosive. Det Kongelige Teater, Gamle Scenen, Kongens Nytorv, T 33696969, http://www.kgl-teater.dk The Old Stage at the Royal Theatre stages regular worldclass performances in a more traditional vein. Very popular, so purchase tickets well in advance.
