Design of the musical score publication of 'Mærsk – the Opera', for the artist group Superflex.
Mærsk – the Opera tells the story of the power relation between a single privileged individual, his company and the surrounding society, through the much debated building of the Copenhagen Opera House. Built on a historical majestic axis across the water from the Amalienborg royal palaces and the Frederik's Church (The Marble Church), the Copenhagen Opera House was donated to the city of Copenhagen as a "people’s gift", financed solely by Denmark’s richest man, the late Mærsk McKinney-Møller and his foundation for charitable purposes.
The opera is licensed for free non-commercial use and the score was furthermore donated to the Royal Danish Opera and the Copenhagen Opera House for free as a people’s gift. The entire musical score was presented at the Nikolaj – Copenhagen Contemporary Art Center as a part of Copenhagen Art Festival 2012.
Format: 297 x 420 mm, softcover,
132 pages, offset, English
