The architect Hack Kampmann designed Aarhus Theatre. Construction began on August 12, 1898, and the theater was inaugurated on September 15, 1900. That quick schedule, just over two years, gave the city a major cultural building at the turn of the century.
The article describes the style as Art Nouveau combined with National Romanticism. The National Romanticism label carries a citation-needed note in the article, so it is less firmly sourced than the Art Nouveau description.
Aarhus Theatre is the largest provincial theater in Denmark, meaning the largest outside the capital. It remains a working theater for the city, and it continues the work of its architect, Hack Kampmann, in serving the public.
