BALLET AT THE SAND-COVERED CHURCH, SKAGEN

Magical is probably the adjective that best describes the very special ballet experience you can experience when some of the world’s most talented ballet dancers perform together with Danish opera singers and classical musicians in front of the iconic church tower in Skagen.

Since the very first performance in 2008, Verdensballetten has visited The Sand-Covered Church and the wind, the sunset and the natural surroundings complement the artists’ performance in a unique way. Our loyal summer guests from all over the country ensure that the performance is always a resounding success.

PERFORMANCE WITH BALLET AND OPERA

This summer, Verdensballetten presents prima ballerinas and solo dancers from some of the world’s finest ballet companies, usually only seen on major international stages. The dancers are accompanied on stage by internationally recognized opera singers and classical musicians.

The program is an exquisite potpourri of excerpts from classic ballets such as Sleeping Beauty, Giselle and Manon, but also newly choreographed pieces created especially for Verdensballetten.

The artistic framework is set by tenor and emcee Jens-Christian Wandt, who with entertaining anecdotes about the show’s repertoire ties it all together into a complete evening of the highest caliber.

In the interplay between wind and weather and art, and with nature as a backdrop, we create a completely new ballet experience characterized by the special soul and character of this place – in the middle of beautiful North Jutland and close to Frederikshavn.
