The newest addition to the cultural scene is the new Operahouse. You can cross the water by using the new bridge from Skuespillerhuset close to Nyhavn - note: you can only walk or bike. The chandeliers inside are really pretty and the theater breathtaking. Remember to visit Papirøen right next to the Opera House which is a foodmarket with really good food and drinks. Sometimes they have livemusic.
