Aarhus Teater is a municipal theatre in central Aarhus, Denmark; it opened in 1900 and is the largest provincial theatre in the country. The building is an important cultural institution for stage drama and musical productions in Aarhus.

Audiences attend a year-round program of plays, musicals and special productions staged by the theatre company and guest companies. The house operates multiple performance spaces and presents both new Danish drama and international works adapted for local audiences.

The theatre building was designed by architect Hack Kampmann and completed around 1900. It has served as a principal public theatre for Aarhus since its opening and has been maintained and updated as a municipal cultural institution.

The theatre is located in central Aarhus in the Central Denmark Region, within the city center and close to other cultural venues and public transport links.

• Architectural origin: Designed by Danish architect Hack Kampmann and completed at the turn of the 20th century.

Aarhus Teater is centrally located near the city center. From Aarhus Central Station it is a 10-15 minute walk (follow the signs into the pedestrianized center). Local buses and taxis also provide easy access; the theatre is on Teatergaden adjacent to other cultural institutions.
