One of Denmark’s largest musical orchestras recently played for CHESS: The 2025 production of the musical that was initiated by ABBA’s Benny and Björn features over 50 singers, actors, dancers, and musicians – and delivers a world-class experience at Det Ny Teater in Copenhagen, Denmark. Det Ny Teater has recently updated its system, and the musical is elevated with our cutting-edge sound solutions like the LINA very compact linear line array loudspeaker, 2100-LFC low-frequency control element, with support from our UPJ-1P, UP-Junior, MM4-XP, UPM-1P, and UP-4XP loudspeakers.
Det Ny Teater is one of Europe’s largest privately run theatres. Originally built in 1908 and renovated in 1994, the venue is not only home for international musical productions, but also recognized as one of Europe’s most remarkable classical theatre buildings with around 1.000 seats nowadays.
In a review, Teaterpigerne wrote that „the sound is rich, powerful – like listening to the original record” at Det Ny Teater. And Månssons Kultur (Sweden) stated: “With outstanding sound and a superb orchestra, Mikkel Rønnow’s direction is an experience beyond the ordinary. You couldn’t wish for anything better. They perform Björn and Benny’s music as well as it could possibly be done. The sound is clear and powerful. It almost feels like listening to the original record. This truly makes it possible to lose yourself in the performance.“
