A MUSICAL TRIBUTE TO THE QUEEN OF DENMARK

WORLD PREMIERE

June - September 2023

The Royal Danish Theatre

ODEON

The Concert Hall of Aarhus

A sumptuous performance about she who brings us all together. A touching true story with goosebump-inducing music about fate, duty, legacy and most importantly love. Beginning with her childhood and the relationship with a father she adores, to when she is told at the age of thirteen that she will inherit the throne over meeting Henri and the difficult balance between family and obligations. We follow her grieving the death of her father while having to take on the throne, delivering the iconic New Year’s speeches, her relationship with the press, a lifelong love of and contribution to theatre and the arts, how she navigates the people’s harsh treatment of the Prince Consort, a family life in the spotlight and saying goodbye to loved ones.
