Om Det Kongelige Kapel

Med over 500 års historie er Det Kongelige Kapel verdens ældste orkester. Dets enestående arv og dybe musiske tradition gør det til en hjørnesten i den klassiske musik. Allerede i 1940'erne, mens førende orkestre i USA og Storbritannien fejrede deres 100-års jubilæer, markerede dette ensemble et halvt årtusinde af musikalsk virke.

Orkestret er anerkendt for sin kunstneriske kvalitet og prestige og har tiltrukket nogle af verdens mest fremtrædende dirigenter – herunder Herbert von Karajan, som sikrede sig en plads på podiet ved at tilbyde sine tjenester gratis. Med en arv, der fortsat inspirerer, forbliver Det Kongelige Kapel et fyrtårn for musikalsk excellence.
