Royal Danish Opera

A powerful drama of sibling love, rootlessness and inherited trauma – and of the void left by a poet whose voice, written in unflinching capital letters, shook a nation: Yahya Hassan.

The Royal Danish Theatre

In Denmark, August Bournonville’s name is woven into the very fabric of ballet history. In the United States, no single figure has shaped the art form more profoundly than George Balanchine. The Russian-American dancer, choreographer and co-founder of the renowned New York City Ballet not only created some of the 20th century’s most enduring works; he also forged a distinctive choreographic language that has travelled the world for nearly a century, shaping generations of dancers and captivating audiences – from first-time theatre-goers to devoted ballet lovers.

The libretto is by Sofi Oksanen – recipient of the Nordic Council Literature Prize – and by Aleksi Barrière, whose text lends piercing clarity to the music of the late Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho in her final opera. The production is directed by the Australian Simon Stone, bringing together a remarkable creative team that guides the audience through a raw, nightmarish reflection on the senseless gun violence of our time – at the very heart of The Opera House.

Innocence

One hundred and thirty years after its premiere in Turin, La bohème continues to hold an immortal place among the most performed and beloved works in the operatic repertoire. Perhaps it is the allure of the seemingly carefree artistic milieu of Paris. Perhaps it is Puccini’s ravishing score, with its recurring motifs that follow each character and render the drama so immediate. Above all, it is surely the timeless portrayal of love – genuine and fragile – in a world where it is too often cheaply traded.
