About

An opera in three acts by the art group SUPERFLEX (founded in 1993) and composer Anders Monrad (b. 1981), performed by a dedicated team of high profiled singers and musicians. The Mærsk Opera is a documentary opera based on true events leading up to the opening of one of the most controversial buildings in Denmark’s recent history: the Copenhagen Opera House, and at the same time, an artistic reflection on the opera as genre.

The Mærsk Opera is an opera in three acts for 26 voices, choir and orchestra about the building of the Copenhagen Opera House, donated to the city of Copenhagen as a "people’s gift", financed solely by Denmark’s richest man, the late Mærsk McKinney-Møller.

The Mærsk Opera tells the story of the power relation between a single privileged individual, his company and the surrounding society, through the much debated building of the Opera House.

The Mærsk Opera is licensed for free non-commercial use and the score was donated to the Royal Danish Opera and the Copenhagen Opera House for free as a people’s gift in 2012.

The artwork for the vinyl is made by the art group SUPERFLEX, who exhibit their works in museums all over the world, including Tate Modern, Louisiana – Museum of Modern Art, Kunsthaus Graz, Brooklyn Museum and many more.
