Copenhagen Opera House
This state-of-the-art opera house features two stages, the Main Stage and a smaller venue, Takkeløftet. The repertoire runs the gamut from classic to contemporary opera, as well as the odd curve ball like a performance by Elvis Costello or something from the Jazz Festival. Productions usually sell out way in advance but any unsold tickets are offered at half-price at the Opera House box office from 6pm on the night of the performance. Alternatively, many come just to eat in the panoramic Franco-Danish restaurant or the ground-floor cafe, or to explore the building on a guided tour. The tours run Saturdays and Sundays at 9.30am and 4.30pm (100kr).

Copenhagen Jazzhouse
In just about any other city a venue as great as this would be horribly commercialised but Copenhagen’s premiere jazz venue has a wonderfully unpretentious atmosphere that focuses on the music and performers. As well as some of the top names in the jazz world, you’ll hear funk, blues, pop and, when the DJs get the downstairs dance floor heaving, an even wider range of contemporary music.

Tivoli’s Koncertsal & Plænen
Copenhagen’s largest concert hall attracts major international acts, often of the easy listening/musical theatre variety – Elvis Costello played here in 2010. Improbably, this historic building is now also home to Europe’s longest saltwater aquarium. Meanwhile, every Friday at 10pm you’ll find a major Danish or international pop act performing for free at the open-air stage, Plænen.

Loppen
This historic, timbered warehouse in Christiania doesn’t draw quite so many major international acts as it used to but is still one of the best live-music venues in the city – everything from punk to reggae, funk and world music can be heard here, usually followed by a boisterous disco into the early hours.
