The Royal Danish Ballet, October 2010
As many other ballet companies, The Royal Danish Ballet is actively working to broaden the audience base. Especially reaching a younger public. This it not a new strategy. It has been going on for at least 30 years. I for one was caught by a reach out activity in my high school days. But the success rate has not been high. Many small scale activities have been tried. Probably all school children in Copenhagen have been invited to a gen rep etc. The great change in Nikolaj Hübbe's strategy is than instead of showing ballet at 50% of its potential he chooses to show ballet at the highest level, but at an affordable price.
