A ROYAL COOPERATION

Queen Margrethe II

The Queen's partnership with Tivoli dates back to 2001, when she created the set design for the Hans Christian Andersen production, "Love in the Dustbin", which combined three fairy tales into a story of pride that goes before a fall.

After that came "Thumbelina" in 2005, "The Tinderbox" in 2007, "The Swineherd" in 2009 and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" in 2013. All the ballets featured choreography by Dinna Bjørn, former dancer at the Pantomime Theatre, Artistic Director of the Norwegian National Ballet, and now a highly respected Bournonville expert. The music was composed by James Price. The Queen also created décor and costumes for a full-length ballet, "The Nutcracker", in the Tivoli Concert Hall in 2012. This production was reprised in 2014, 2016 and 2018. "Cinderella" in 2016 also featured choreography from Russian choreographer Yuri Possokhov and music by Oh Land.

Tivoli Ballettheatre

The company consists of 20 classically trained dancers from all over the world – including three character dancers from Denmark. Aside from the Royal Danish Ballet, the Tivoli Ballet Theatre is the only classically-based ballet company in Denmark.

Each summer, it stages almost 300 performances in the Pantomime Theatre, with genres spanning classical ballets, fairy tale ballets, modern works and traditional pantomime. Most have been created specifically for the company.
