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!

Royal Danish Opera

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.

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.

The Incredible Story of the Giant Pear

Pinocchio recounts the tale of Geppetto's little puppet, who, through magic, gains life and sets off on incredible and perilous escapades in his quest to become human. Along his journey, he encounters both kind-hearted fairies and crafty beings bent on tricks. Becoming a genuine human proves difficult amidst the cruelty and opportunism of those seeking to deceive and take advantage of him.

Experience Nicolas Bro as Uncle Vanya in Chekhov’s classic, reimagined in contemporary rural Denmark—where change is hard to accept.

'Life in the countryside is wonderful,' or so they say—but not for Sonja and her Uncle Vanya. For 25 years, they have worked tirelessly to keep the family farm afloat, in part to support Sonja’s father, a professor living in the city. Now, having retired and fallen on hard times, he has moved to the farm with his much younger wife, Jelena—whose beauty proves a dangerous distraction for both Vanya and the doctor, Astrov.
