Bellevue Teatret

THE BELLEVUE THEATRE The Bellevue Theatre opened in 1936, and is recognised as one of the best examples of Bauhaus-architecture in Denmark and one of the greatest works of Arne Jacobsen. The theatre has as one of the only places in the world an electrical moving roof, as it slides to the side bringing in the warm summer nights. The Roof Construction was Arne Jacobsen’s way of bringing in the freshness of the sea and forest into the theatre. DANISH DESIGN IDENTITY The design of Arne Jacobsen is a great example of Danish design identity. He was a perfectionistic modernist, where the details were important, and he managed to create timeless designs. Arne Jacobsen was part of a period, where there were no previous architectural traditions and therefore he could create new shapes and Constructions. Arne Jacobsen continued his previous architectural work for Gentofte Borough such as Bella Vista and Bellevue Beach Bath, where also the Bellevue Theatre were created in functionalistic style with clean shapes and straight lines. The Organic Design with wavy strokes and the soft outline is seen all over both inside and outside at Bellevue Theatre with the canopy of the façade, the balcony in the auditorium, the chairs, the bar in the foyer and the stairs.
