1. Ex
At first glance, Sibylle and Daniel, portrayed by Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Mikkel Arndt, seem to lead an idyllic yet somewhat mundane family life, complete with respectable careers, a stylish apartment and two young children. One night, Daniel's ex-girlfriend Franziska, played by Julie Agnete Vang Christensen, suddenly appears. She becomes the catalyst for an explosion in what turns out to be an already strained relationship between Daniel and Sibylle, whose children have long been hostages in their trench warfare. Daniel chose Sibylle over Franziska, because she was the stable and sensible choice, but perhaps he chose wrongly?

2. The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear
Welcome to Solby, a place of peace and tranquillity, until Sebastian and Mitcho reel in a message in a bottle from the sea. Inside the bottle, they uncover a letter from JB, the missing mayor of Solby, along with a mysterious seed. When they plant the seed in their garden, it sprouts into an enormous pear, which soon carries them across the open sea towards a mysterious island. Along their voyage, they face sabre-wielding pirates, a formidable sea dragon and ghostly apparitions – encounters that might not be as perilous as they initially seem.

5. Tina Dickow and Helgi Jónsson
After great success with concerts in no less than eight European capitals, Tina Dickow and Helgi Jonsson return to Danish soil and invite you inside for three duo concerts. When the two stood alone on Det Kongelige Teater's Gamle Stage in March, Gaffa signed off with five stars and the comment; "Jonsson and Dickow's subtly thought-provoking and self-deprecatingly humorous stories about their difficult love created the counterbalance to the melancholic and profound songs" This time, Aarhus and Aalborg will also be visited by the duo. Dickow and Jonsson two have worked as closely together as possible since they became colleagues in 2008 and since then also became a couple and have created a life together in Iceland. From a home studio on the outskirts of Reykjavik, they have together written and recorded five of Dickow's albums and two of Jonsson's, and also some of Dickow's biggest hits such as 'Someone You Love', 'You Wanna Teach Me To Dance', 'Fancy' and 'Welcome Back Colour' they wrote together. The two have played hundreds of concerts at home and abroad in every imaginable constellation, and as musicians in each other's bands, and now they play individual duo concerts under a common name. Concerts where they invite the audience inside for an intimate and personal insight into what it is that they do and can do together, at the same time that, through the songs you know, they will tell the story of how they met and how a terrible start turned into a happy ending. "The concert is more theatrical than usual because we really want to tell a story here.

In 2024, The Savage Rose proved once again why their star shines so brightly in the Danish music sky.

All over the country they were received by completely sold-out houses and ended with two magnificent concerts in the Opera. In 2025, the band continues with Annisette at the front, with another tour around the country. The Savage Rose's music is known for being both raw, poetic and deeply personal. The band has released 25 albums and achieved great recognition both nationally and internationally.
