Letter Performance: Love (repeat)
Tickets for the first Letter Performance of the year were sold out - and therefore the performance will be reproduced for the summer. Look forward to moving and passionate love letters!
Royal Danish Library is once again opening its doors to a special performance in the spirit of love - and this time it will be a repeat of the popular "Letter Performance: Love".
The Queen's Hall stages some of the most moving, beautiful and passionate love letters written throughout history. The performance is a tribute to the personal letter – a genre that is slipping out of our everyday lives, but which contains a deep human intensity.
Top-notch actors give voice to past lovers and interpret letters from, among others, Søren Kierkegaard, Christian IV, and Sigrid Undset. These are intimate texts written to a single recipient – and that is exactly why they strike so strongly. Here is fervour, humour, pain, hope – and a reminder of what it means to be human in the grip of love.

Royal Danish Library contains a collection of over two million letters from great personalities, artists and writers.
The event is part of the series Letters in The Black Diamond, where we awaken Royal Danish Library's large letter collections through letter writing concerts and themed letter performances.
The letter performance is arranged in collaboration with Gyldendal and with support from Dao.
