Celebrating Greece, Africa and Indonesia

Sparkling Sound Festival

The Sparkling Sound Festival is a two-day celebration of Danish-Greek sound art and electronic music. Held at two locations − on Wednesday you’ll find it at Nikolaj Kunsthal, and on Thursday at Dansekapellet − it will attempt to challenge the definition of music and art as it crosses genres.

For the eighth year running, the Royal Ballet will be sending 17 dancers out to perform excerpts from the ballet’s repertoire at free outdoor stagings across Denmark. Performances will include selections from the Christmas classic The Nutcracker to the fiery Spanish piece La Ventana. Copenhagen-area residents can take day trips to Gentofte on Sunday, Roskilde on Monday or Vordingborg on Tuesday to catch performances. You can watch the dancers warm up onstage 90 minutes before each show, so pack a picnic basket, show up early and enjoy the sunshine.

Tivoli Pierrot Panto

Tivoli’s pantomime season encompasses music, comedy, drama and storytelling. Common to each show are the young lovers Harlequin and Columbine, while Columbine’s father Cassander and his servant Pierrot do everything they can to sabotage their plans. From now until mid-July, catch Tivoli’s oldest panto, Harlequin Mechanical Statue, in which Columbine and Harlequin hatch a secret plot against Cassander – with Pierrot constantly contributing to the confusion – or Pierrot in Dyrehaven, which sees the entire cast travel to Bakken, where Pierrot meets his doppelganger. Elsewhere, watch as an older suitor joins the fray and begins pursuing Columbine, while Pierrot continues to turn the entire household upside down with his antics in Pierrot’s Fatalities, or Pierrot as Wizard, in which Harlequin tries to defeat Cassander and win his lady’s love with a magic sword.

Tivoli Pantomime Theatre, Vesterbrogade 3, Cph V; started Mon, ends July 18, performances daily until end of June at 13:00, 19:00 or 20:30, see website for specific showtimes; free adm with entrance to Tivoli; www.tivoli.dk
