Copenhagen Opera Festival takes the City
Copenhagen Opera Festival treats you to opera on the streets and squares of the city, in theatres, aboard ships, in Tivoli and many other places within the urban space of Copenhagen (pictured The Operetta Boat).
Music lovers, opera connoisseurs and Copenhageners of all ages will be treated to 35 opera performances which will illustrate the impressive versatility of the genre, when Copenhagen Opera Festival takes the Danish capital from Friday 27 July to Friday 3 August 2012.
“We love the Versatility of Opera”
“Our focus has been on putting together a festival that perfectly encapsulates everything we love about opera. And the thing we love more than anything is the versatility of the genre”, says Anders Beyer, Artistic Director at Copenhagen Opera Festival.
“So it’s a pleasure to be able to present both new, innovative shows as well as big classics, while the beautiful and romantic performances are featured side by side with the scary and spooky ones.”
