Information About

August Bournonville




After studies in , Scotland , Russia , South America , etc. A limited number of these works have survived, having never been away from the stage longer than the memory of the performers were alive.

Strangely, Bournonville's work became known outside Denmark only after WWII . Since 1950, The Royal Ballet has several times made prolonged tours abroad, not the least to the United States , where they have performed his ballets - often at theatres not ideally equipped for the purpose. A considerable international interest for Bournonville has thereby made itself felt.

On his passing in 1879, August Bournonville was interred in the Assistens Kirkegård in the Nørrebro section of Copenhagen.
