You're standing at the Copenhagen Opera House, the national opera house of Denmark. It sits on Holmen, a row of islands where the navy used to be based, and it's almost entirely surrounded by water. Look up at the roof. It juts out over the front like a giant canopy. Underneath it is the curved glass front of the foyer, four storeys high.
