The Last Laugh
<p>The Danish National Opera House — opened in 2005—is located on a small island in Copenhagen’s inner harbor. It is one of the most technically advanced in the world. It is also one of the most expensive, costing a cool half a billion dollars.</p>

<p>The Amalienborg Axis</p>
<p>Situated very strategically, the opera house is sited at the end of what is called the Amalienborg Axis in the very heart of Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital city. The Axis is equivalent to the National Mall in Washington D.C. It is a stone plaza that bisects the Queen’s residential compound, terminating at the Marble Church, the largest in Denmark, and a holy shrine. Directly opposite, and clearly visible across the harbor, sits the Opera House.</p>
