Shakespeare’s tragic love story about Romeo and Juliet inspired Leonard Bernstein and lyricist Stephen Sondheim to create the story of the two lovebirds, Tony and Maria, involving two rival street gangs in 1950s New York.

West Side Story set to music by Bernstein is a sure crowd-pleaser. The iconic musical ingeniously fuses symphonic sound with the jazzy and Latin American rhythms the composer experienced in clubs and on the streets of his hometown, New York.

Life in Ahnstarr City is not easy for Taku, Spir, and their friends. Their small wooden houses by the harbour are being torn down, and little Timo is seriously ill. Only the rare saffron lily, which grows in the dreamland of Balanka, can cure him. When two old Phantom-8 jet engines from a failed expedition 25 years ago are rediscovered, and a plasma generator is brought back to life, Spir has an idea: let’s build a bus and travel to Balanka!

The Fantastic Bus 

As the 20th century dawns, the Barrison Sisters enchant Europe with their bold dances and saucy songs. They awaken hidden fantasies within the bourgeoisie and challenge societal norms regarding gender and sexual morality. At the same time, their advocacy for women's emancipation enrages the conservative defenders of traditional values, resulting in a wake of rumours, lawsuits, jealousy and suicides.

'Fête galante' means love feast and refers to the paintings that show the parties and excesses of the French nobility in the 18th century. In the popular Danish composer Poul Schierbeck's Fête galante, such a love fest gets out of control when Count René leads the young Suzon into the dark, and this has major consequences. Poul Schierbeck has written the melodies for some of the most popular Danish songs, including "I was born in Denmark", "Hør den lille stær" and "It's today a weather". The masterpiece Fête galante is his only opera.

Fête Galante

Odense Concert Hall

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.
