    Bo Holten's (b. 1948) new opera The Visit of the Royal Physician was a great success with both audience and reviewers at the premiere in 2009. It is a tragic love story from one of the most dramatic periods in the history of Denmark, when new ideas almost overturned the social order. It is the 1770s, and the young, idealistic doctor Struensee dreams of creating a new and better world. He is given the chance to put his ideas into practice when, almost by coincidence, he becomes royal physician to the insane King Christian VII. Soon he is also the lover of the young Queen Caroline Mathilde. The result is a disaster for all those involved – while the old order is allowed to endure. The Visit of the Royal Physician is based on the best-selling novel by Per Olov Enquist. The performance was recorded at the Opera in Copenhagen and is conducted by the composer.
  • LANGGAARD: Antikrist.
    Sten Byriel, Anne Margrethe Dahl, Poul Elming, Helene Gjerris, Johnny van Hal, Jon Ketilsson, John Lundgren, Susanne Resmark, Morten Suurballe, Danish National SO and Choir / DR, Dausgaard. Dacapo DVD NTSC

    A religious mystery opera. A magnificent doomsday vision. A full length nightmare.
    Dacapo' Records' very first opera DVD features Rued Langgaard's powerful vision of the coming of Antikrist in the spectacular co-production with the Royal Danish Opera and the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) from 2002. No punches are pulled as the composer's breathtaking revelation unfolds with its intriguing allegorical characters and its powerful statement about the moral decay of modern society.
