Peter Sommer

Denmark's arguably driest songwriter, Peter Sommer, and the all-playing audience favourite who never gets birollexions, Palle Hjorth, can be experienced this January at the Royal Theatre's Old Stage in a theatrical, grand romantic and aesthetically ambitious blast of an all-night performance - that can turn any theatre into a concert hall, and any concert hall into a theatre.

And audiences have more than the popular hot chairs in the dark to look forward to. For the dramatic duo have outdone themselves with a splendid piece of light, sound and costume parade from initiation to carpet fall - and are now bringing arguably the most dubious but not questionable song catalogue of big (and small) songs beyond the stage in a show in two acts, which they have chosen to call: “Ej Blot To The Light • Ej Blot To The Light • Ej Blot To The Dark”.

For more than 20 years Peter Sommer has written and published songs that do not try to simplify the world - where the easy questions are rarely answered, but the difficult and important questions are asked. And in a duo formation with keyboard boxer Palle Hjorth, both the most and the least known songs from Sommer's hand are presented in a new light, new scenography and, not least, new musical interpretations. Freely but not without script, you can look forward to revisiting old favourites — and in particular to premieres of new interpretations from the duo's upcoming record PSPHPT 2, which will be released in conjunction with the tour (exclusively for sale at the concerts).

The concert is presented by Live Nation
