Tosca

Morten Hee Andersen returns as the ultimate seducer in Molière’s tragicomedy of deception, desire, and self-delusion.

Don Juan always follows his heart, surrendering himself freely to overwhelming beauty, intoxicating infatuation, and the pleasures of love. With his loyal servant Sganarelle by his side, he is constantly on the run from the consequences of his actions—always in pursuit of his next conquest. Everything is done in the name of liberation, for Don Juan bows to no rules, laws, or conventions. But can one truly live a life without regard for others, guided only by personal desire? Or will retribution eventually catch up with him?

Don Juan

America, I Feel Pretty, Tonight, Maria, Somewhere. The popular evergreens of West Side Story can now be experienced at the Opera House. Bernstein’s musical classic is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that deserves revisiting again and again and again …
 

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.

West Side Story

Experience Iben Hjejle and Alexander Bryld Obaze in the theatrical adaptation of Katrine Marie Guldager’s sharp-witted and critically acclaimed novel.

Lotte has been abandoned by the love of her life, Michael, and, to make matters worse, has also been dismissed from her job as a social worker. Then, out of the blue, Michael’s grown-up son, Daniel, calls—he has been unable to reach his father. Together, they discover Michael dead in his flat.

Another Day in God's Creation

Experience one of Danish theatre’s greatest classics in a critically acclaimed, star-studded production at the Old Stage.

Within the Walls is a powerful story about belonging—and the struggle of breaking free from the traditions that define one’s world.

Within the Walls

An award-winning musical about Evan Hansen, who wants nothing more than to fit In, but his social life is built on a lie—So who is he really?

High school student Evan Hansen struggles with loneliness and social anxiety. When a classmate dies by suicide, a misunderstanding turns Evan’s private letter to himself into what appears to be the classmate’s farewell note addressed to him. Suddenly, everyone believes they were best friends. As Evan fails to correct the mistake, he becomes increasingly entangled in the deception. His popularity soars, and he finds a sense of belonging within the grieving family, who take comfort in his presence. But as the lie spirals out of control, Evan must face the inevitable truth—about himself and those around him.


Dear Evan Hansen

Verdi’s celebrated dramatic masterpiece is a triumph of opera, brimming with some of its greatest musical highlights.

Rigoletto has everything one could wish for in Italian opera: a gripping storyline and unforgettable melodies that stay with you long after the curtain falls—including the famous tenor aria La donna è mobile.

Rigoletto

See – or revisit – this wacky, musical children’s production based on Ole Lund Kirkegaard’s beloved stories.

Imagine if the children from Ole Lund Kirkegaard’s books all lived in the same house – the Corner House. Here, you’ll find Topper, his friend Viggo, and Ivan Olsen with their families, the coffee-loving aunt, and the caretaker, while Topper’s sort-of girlfriend, Sille, whizzes past on her bicycle.

On the ground floor, Café Blue Catfish is up for sale, and the Hodja family is about to move in. Mr Hodja wants to open a tailor’s shop, convinced that his son should follow in his footsteps. But Hodja dreams of seeing the whole world on his flying carpet. Meanwhile, Ivan, up in the attic, just wants to be himself – not the tough, manly boy his father insists he should be.

The Brats in the Corner House

A harrowing and powerful opera inspired by true events of the French Revolution.

The contrast between the quiet life of a convent and the sweeping, destructive forces of revolution lies at the heart of Poulenc’s opera, which is inspired by real events from the French Revolution.

Dialogues des Carmélites

Experience Iben Hjejle and Alexander Bryld Obaze in the theatrical adaptation of Katrine Marie Guldager’s sharp-witted and critically acclaimed novel.

Lotte has been abandoned by the love of her life, Michael, and, to make matters worse, has also been dismissed from her job as a social worker. Then, out of the blue, Michael’s grown-up son, Daniel, calls—he has been unable to reach his father. Together, they discover Michael dead in his flat.

As Lotte and Daniel attempt to unravel the mystery of Michael’s sudden death, she is unwillingly drawn into her neighbour’s turbulent marital crisis, disrupted by her job consultant’s relentless demands for CV-writing courses, and confronted by former colleagues who—full of sympathy—lament her unfair dismissal. On top of it all, she finds herself looking after her neighbour’s children while the neighbour resolves her marriage troubles in Lotte’s own bed.
