Den Glade Enke 2.0: Die lustige Witwe 2.0 Adam Price

Motionér smilebåndene og forkæl øregangene med Lehárs fest af en operette

Lehárs operette Den glade enke er pakket med eviggrønne hits. Oplev musikken i en moderne og morsom gendigtning af Adam Price og en forrygende iscenesættelse af Kasper Holten.

Den prisbelønnede forfatter, Adam Price, og teaterchef Kasper Holten, har skabt en ny version af Lehárs operette-evergreen, Den glade enke, der revser deres egen elskede teaterverden.

Originalens ambassadefester er blevet henlagt til et økonomisk udsultet, moderne og let genkendeligt dansk kulturliv. Som i originalen er der stadig masser af intriger i luften og lumre affærer i krogene, mens vores selvudstillende tid bliver spiddet i en ætsende og underholdende satire.

Teaterdirektør Zeta øjner en redningsplanke gennem et sponsorat fra den ombejlede enke Hanna Glawari, der i denne version har sin store arv efter en velhavende jysk svineproducent. De berømte grisetter bliver aldrig helt det samme efter Hannas store fest hjemme i grisestalden.

Lydsiden til morskaben er naturligvis Franz Lehárs vidunderlige musik, hvor ørehængerne står i kø, og dansere bidrager til den fejende flotte og hæsblæsende fest.

Motionér smilebåndene og forkæl øregangene, når Det Kongelige Kapel, Det Kongelige Operakor og et stjernespækket solisthold fortolker Lehár-hits som Viljasangen, Så går vi til Maxim og Enkevalsen.

Tickle your funny bone and indulge your ears with Lehár's festive operetta.

Lehár's operetta Die lustige Witwe features timeless hits reimagined in a modern and humorous style by Adam Price, with dazzling staging by Kasper Holten.

Award-winning writer Adam Price and director of the Royal Danish Theatre, Kasper Holten, have crafted a new version of Lehár’s evergreen operetta, Die lustige Witwe, which playfully critiques their beloved theatre world.

The original embassy parties are relocated to a financially starved, modern and easily recognisable Danish cultural scene. True to the original, the air is thick with intrigue and corners are rife with sultry affairs, all set against the backdrop of our confessional era, which is sharply and entertainingly satirised.

Theatre director Zeta seeks a lifeline through sponsorship from the coveted widow Hanna Glawari, who in this version inherits her fortune from a wealthy hog farmer in Jutland. The famous Grisettes will never be the same after Hanna’s grand party in the pigsty.

Naturally, the soundtrack to these tongue-in-cheek antics is Franz Lehár's sweeping music, replete with catchy tunes and complemented by the fiery frenzy of dancers.

Tickle your funny bone and delight your ears as the Royal Danish Orchestra, the Royal Danish Opera Chorus and a star-studded cast of soloists perform such Lehár evergreens as Vilja-Lied, Da geh' ich zu Maxim and Lippen schweigen.

Die lustige Witwe 2.0 is performed in Danish with Danish supertitles for the songs and English supertitles for the dialogue and songs.

Den Glade Enke 2.0 by Adam Price, Sat 26 Apr 2025, From (2025/2025), Directed by Kasper Holten,, Conductor Keren Kagarlitsky, Nick Fletcher, Royal Danish Theatre, Copenhagen, Denmark
