Opera by Giacomo Puccini. Presented in the Hedeland open air amphitheatre August 2026.

Hedeland is a 15 square kilometer recreational area recovered from gravel pits, located not far from Roskilde. The 3,500 seat amphitheatre was constructed between 1994 and 1996, it is the largest permanent outdoor stage in Denmark.

“This year’s set-up is overwhelming. The scenography is pompous, monumental and minimalist at the same time. We see a well-functioning setup with stairs and platforms that take advantage of Hedeland’s architecture and location – and since most of the action takes place in a church, the stage is shaped like a large cross. A word that fits well here is impressive. The interaction of the amphitheatre with the stage is thought-provoking and well-thought-out.” – Jesper Hillestrøm, kulturinformation.org, 10 August 2026

“…with elegant spotlight control and strategically placed candelabra, the stage really came to life after the intermission, when darkness fell and the drama intensified.” – Casper Koeller, sceneblog.dk, 11 August 2026
