A Night at the Opera

Den 30. november 2008 bød et udsolgt Operaen på Holmen op til en ganske særlig koncert: I samarbejde med Danmarks Radio fyldte Teitur med band og DR’s Underholdning Orkester samt Vokal Ensemblet scenen med ikke mindre end 25 mand. Det blev til en koncert hvor Teitur spillede – eller opførte om man vil – hele The Singer-albummet plus et par afstikkere som ’Josephine’ og ’Great Balls of Fire’. Og det hele optaget af DR i det man bedst kan kalde en storproduktion. Det har nu resulteret i en live CD med tilhørende DVD, der dokumenterer dette fantastiske møde og koncert i både lyd og billede. For Teitur er det hans første live CD nogensinde og samtidig var det en drøm, der gik i opfyldelse. Det smittede i den grad positivt af på denne fine aften i Operaen. Med sit tredje album, ”The Singer”, satte Teitur for alvor sit præg på den skandinaviske stjernehimmel. Albummet, der er blevet kaldt Teiturs stærkeste til dato, har høstet stor anerkendelse fra både de danske og udenlandske anmeldere. Teitur vandt en DMA for Årets Danske Sanger i 2007, en DMA for Årets Danske Singer/Songwriter Udgivelse med ”The Singer” i 2009 og åbnede Orange Scene på Roskilde Festivalen 2008. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On November 30th 2008 a sold out Operahouse in Copenhagen hosted a very special show: In collaboration with The Danish National Radio Teitur and his band went on stage with The Danish National Chamber Orchestra and The Danish National Vocal Ensemble. The concert turned out to be an opportunity to hear Teitur play – or perform – the entire The Singer-album as well as a couple of other favorites such as ‘Josephine’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire’. The entire show was being recorded by The Danish National Radio, and the result is now to be found on a live CD and DVD that documents this amazing constellation and concert in both audio and live footage. The result is both Teitur’s first live CD ever and a dream come true at the same time, and that definitely affected this excellent evening at The Opera. Teitur: A Night at the Opera is out March 29th on CD and DVD. With this, his third album, ”The Singer”, Teitur has been acknowledged as one of the most eminent singer-songwriters in Scandinavia. The album, which so far has been called Teitur’s finest, has received great reviews from both Danish and international critics. Teitur was awarded a Danish Music Award for Best Singer of The Year 2007, a Danish Music Award for The Best Singer/songwriter Release with “The Singer” in 2009 and he opened the main stage, Orange Stage, at The Roskilde Festival 2008.
