Det Kongelige Teater - Operaen

This guide to Det Kongelige Teater - Operaen begins with an architect calling his own building a mausoleum, in a book published years after it opened. It follows the falling-out between billionaire donor Maersk Mc-Kinney Moller, who funded and personally shaped the opera house down to its seat cushions, and architect Henning Larsen, who wanted the harbor wall built entirely of glass. Listen for how the metal grid facade you see today reflects whose vision actually won.
