Queen Margrethe receives medal for 25 years of Tivoli design work

Visitors to Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens can soon see new stage designs by Queen Margrethe.

The former Danish monarch received a 25th anniversary medal for her design work at Tivoli.

Tivoli chief executive Susanne Mørch Koch presented the medal at Fredensborg Palace.

The private ceremony honored Margrethe's 25 years as a costume and set designer.

Margrethe has contributed to nine stage productions at Tivoli over the past 25 years.

Seven of those shows were staged at the Pantomime Theatre.

Two productions appeared in Tivoli's Concert Hall.

Her first Tivoli work was Hans Christian Andersen's Love in the Dustbin in 2001.

She created the costumes, scenery, and story interpretation for that 2001 show.

Her latest design work will feature in a new production of The Nutcracker.

The Nutcracker opens at Tivoli's Concert Hall on November 26.

Koch said Margrethe has had exceptional significance for Tivoli's performing arts.

Koch added that her work is part of Tivoli's cultural heritage.

The ceremony also honored three long-serving ballet dancers.

Tori Cooper and Allan Clausen marked 25 years at Tivoli.

Tommy Edvardsen celebrated 50 years at the Pantomime Theatre.

All three dancers performed in productions involving Margrethe.

These shows included The Tinderbox, The Swineherd, and Cinderella.

Margrethe is 86 years old.

She became monarch in 1972 and abdicated on January 14, 2024, in favor of King Frederik.
