When Goethe published Die Leiden des jungen Werthers in the latter half of the 18th century, an entire generation discovered a new image of manhood – one that embraced vulnerability, powerlessness and the anguish of love. Men were no longer merely soldiers or statesmen; they were permitted to dream, to write poetry, to reveal weakness – and to suffer for love.

Werther

Royal Danish Opera

Artistic Director Elisabeth Linton and Principal Conductor Marie Jacquot lead a new production of Richard Strauss’s lavish opera.

In Der Rosenkavalier, satire, comedy, melancholy, and romance merge with dazzling music. The Royal Danish Opera’s Artistic Director, Elisabeth Linton, stages the production, with Principal Conductor Marie Jacquot leading the orchestra.

Der Rosenkavalier

A profoundly moving encounter as Bach’s music meets contemporary dance in a performance that reflects on our relationship with life’s final chapter.
