Den Jyske Opera

In 1982, Den Jyske Opera became based in Musikhuset Aarhus, producing a number of Richard Wagner's operas which culminated in Der Ring des Nibelungen in 1982 and again in 1996.

The company later performed a series of operas by Richard Strauss and, in 2001, several of Giacomo Puccini's works.

With a permanent chorus of 24, it frequently performs with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.
