The theatre and the ballet
The Royal Danish Ballet is a division of The Royal Danish Theatre, and is a remarkable ballet company delivering artistic performances of the highest calibre, and is as such one of the world's best renowned ballet-companies. The company was founded in 1748 right in the center of Copenhagen where it is still located today.
The Royal Danish Ballet also includes The Royal Danish Ballet School which educates world class classical ballet dancers. The Ballet School was founded in 1771, and is one of the few ballet schools in the world that is housed in the theatre building itself.
The core of the Royal Danish Ballet is the tradition of August Bournonville, who led the company in the 1830's. Today The Royal Danish Ballet is a modern ballet company that embraces both classical ballets from the Russian and neoclassical repertoire, and contemporary works, as well as encouraging the creation of new ballets – in addition to the Bournonville repertoire. The company has approx. 80 dancers of both Danish and international origin.
The theatre is currently working with a strategy to increase the number of performances and broadening the repertory, and to reach out to new audience groups with a particular emphasis on introducing more children and young adults to the classical arts. These ambitions are outlined in the political four-year agreement for the Royal Danish Theatre, setting out the main goals for the period 2021-2024 (RDT rammeaftale_da).
