Denmark's best opera mediator guides us through a cornucopia of great voices and corresponding emotions.
Look forward to a sumptuous encounter with the best music by Verdi and Puccini when we bring the two greatest Italian opera creators together in the Symphonic Hall. The musical encounter offers a sumptuous selection of the best – and most dramatic – music from the hands of the two composers.

Look forward to a sumptuous encounter with the best music by Verdi and Puccini when the city's orchestra brings the two greatest Italian opera creators together in the Symphonic Hall. The musical encounter offers a sumptuous selection of the best – and most dramatic – music from the hands of the two composers.

The medieval verses of the Marian sequence Stabat mater seem like a symbol of mourning that has endured for ages. Once sung in unison and humbly, the Stabat mater has inspired generations of composers, including the Pole Karol Szymanowski in 1926, whose oratorio-like Stabat mater incorporated elements of Polish folk and church music. Geographically and thematically close to each other are Pēteris Vasks' political and personal mourning work of the Musica dolorosa , Arvo Pärt's meditation on the Shroud of Turin and Witold Lutosławski's short Lacrimosa from the image-rich death sequence of the Dies irae.
