A musical performance of HOW TO KILL A DOG
Bambi is Back is an examination of modern motherhood in a world that has lost its connection to nature.

Bambi moves with his mother and father into the shadow of an amusement park – in what was once a forest – to live a seemingly safe and sheltered life. But the idyll is shattered. The mother feels how she is slowly losing herself in trying to take care of those she loves most, and in trying to live up to both her own and society's ideals. In the encounter with the forest, she must let go of the idea of ​​the all-sacrificing mother and come to terms with the forces that have shaped her. The family comes under pressure when the balance between love, care, independence and self-sacrifice begins to slip.

There is pathos and passion from the first bar of Brahms's first piano concerto. A powerful timpani roll sets off a great symphonic drama, and during the concert both soloist and orchestra face great trials. But at the same time they share the same desire to perform the dazzlingly beautiful music.

Dance and music have always gone hand in hand, and when listening to Beethoven's 7th Symphony, it is difficult to sit still. The rhythms strike with both power and elegance, and with an overwhelming energy. At the same time, there is also room for reflection in the slow movement, described by a British music writer as "a series of beauties that go hand in hand."

 Verdi wrote the opera La Traviata in 1853,  based on Alexandre Dumas' novel The Lady of the Camellias about the courtesan Marie Duplessis. The novel, as well as Verdi's opera, has since been the basis for many interpretations, such as the films  Pretty Woman  and  Moulin Rouge  , as well as a long series of ballets, novels and plays. The woman's decline and her apparent lack of moral compass have always fascinated.

The music from the musical underground, where English composers created their own unique sound in the shadow of the great masters.

Opera houses and concert halls flourished, new stars were born and a burgeoning middle class was absorbed by the music. But beneath the surface lay an almost forgotten musical underground – English composers who created their own special soundscape in the shadow of the great masters. Welcome to  the London Underground !

International Seminar on Female Composers in Opera History

Throughout most of opera's more than 400-year history, female composers have been almost non-existent. However, the truth is that they do exist. Many women have written operas, and in recent years, the works of forgotten female composers are being rediscovered.

A Master Choreographer’s New Ballet to Bach’s Legendary Music.

Bach’s unfinished masterpiece, The Art of the Fugue, stands as one of classical music’s greatest works. Now, internationally acclaimed Ukrainian choreographer Alexei Ratmansky creates a new ballet set to this iconic score.

Ratmansky, one of today’s most sought-after choreographers, is deeply rooted in the classical ballet tradition, yet his works are filled with fresh and original ideas. After several years away, he returns to Denmark with The Art of the Fugue, an entirely abstract, almost cosmic ballet in five acts, danced to Bach’s musical masterpiece.

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.

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
