Opera at Torvet

You're exactly where you're meant to be. It's that Wednesday in the middle of Esbjerg Festival. The time is 6:55 PM and the sun is shining. You're seated at Torvet, filled with anticipation. Because now it finally happens again: the music, the voices, and the southern passions are about to burst into the midsummer air. It’s time for Opera at the Square!

A proud and beautiful tradition is upheld as Den Ny Opera and Esbjerg Ensemble once again join forces with the audience at Torvet for the classical highlight of Esbjerg Festival.

Composers like Mozart, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, and Bernstein provide the notes.
Singers Sofie Lund, Sidsel Eja Eriksen, Jonathan Koppel, and Jens Søndergaard bring them to life.
Jakob Næslund Madsen is your host.
ESBJERG ENSEMBLE performs.
Lars Ole Mathiasen conducts.
And the weather gods? They’ve called in all available reinforcements.

So grab your blanket, your cheese, and a bottle of red — and hurry down to Torvet. If we know the people of Esbjerg, those seats will go fast.
