DET KONGELIGE TEATER Det Kongelige Teater i København har siden 1748 haft til huse på Kongens Nytorv. Teatret har gæstet mange danske berømtheder, blandt andre var Søren Kierkegaard en hyppig gæst, hvor han hørte Mozarts Don Juan. Det Kongelige Teater består i dag af Operahuset på Holmen, det nye Skuespilhus på Kvæsthusbroen og Gamle Scene på Kongens Nytorv, hvor balletten nu er næsten eneherskende. Den Kongelige Ballet er et af verdens mest anerkendte balletkompagnier. Kompagniet har med sin unikke Bournonville-tradition samt et øje for fornyelse altid formået at præsentere et alsidigt repertoire af høj kvalitet. En af Den Kongelige Ballets kerneopgaver er at videreføre og udvikle Bournonvilles balletter, der er karakteristiske med deres fine sans for mimisk fortælling og ubesværet lethed, og arven fra Bournonville vil altid være grundstammen i kompagniets repertoire.

THE ROYAL DANISH THEATRE The Royal Danish Theatre has since 1748 been located by one of Copenhagen’s main squares, Kongens Nytorv. Over the years, many famous people have visited the theatre, including Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who saw a performance of Mozart’s Don Giovanni.

The Royal Danish Theatre today consists of three main venues: the new waterside Opera House, the new Royal Danish Playhouse and the Old Stage, which now mainly features ballet performances. The Royal Danish Ballet is one of the world’s most renowned companies and the caretaker of a unique Bournonville tradition, which is characterised by refined mimetic narrative and effortless ease. The Bournonville legacy is the backbone of the Royal Danish Ballet’s repertoire. Nonetheless, the company also has an eye for contemporary choreography and features a wide and varied repertoire of high artistic merit.
