The Orchestra

2022 · 2 seasons

A sharp, slow-burning workplace satire that finds quiet tension and dark humor in the petty power struggles of a prestigious orchestra.

Overview: Jeppe Nygren takes over as deputy conductor of the Copenhagen Symphony Orchestra and is warmly welcomed by his new conductor, who speaks candidly about the musicians' peculiarities and olates. The conflict-ridden Jeppe quickly gets an example of these olates and happens to give the embittered second clarinetist Bo with a cursed promise of a solo part. But it has far-reaching consequences.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, tense and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
