Takes the stage with music from a new album and their critically acclaimed back catalog.
Internationally acclaimed Danish singer, songwriter, and pianist Agnes Obel returns to Denmark. On October 3, 2027, she takes the stage at the Opera House in Copenhagen with her distinctive musical universe and her new album The Meaning of Flowers in tow.
The Berlin-based Danish singer, songwriter, producer, and classically trained pianist Agnes Obel has created her very own musical universe over more than 15 years at the intersection of alternative pop, neoclassical music, jazz, and electronic soundscapes.
With the platinum-selling albums Philharmonics and Aventine, she achieved her major European breakthrough, while 2016's Citizen of Glass and 2020's Myopia cemented her international standing as a songwriter, artist, and producer. At the same time, Obel's music has found its way into a wide range of international films, TV series, and video games, including The Last of Us, True Detective, Big Little Lies, and Dark Souls III.
On September 18, Agnes Obel releases her fifth studio album, The Meaning of Flowers – her first album in six years. The album is woven together from a broad variety of thoughts and sources of inspiration, ranging from the poetry of Enheduanna, the world's first named author, and the philosophers Hannah Arendt and Emanuele Coccia, to the Danish pop scene of the 80s and 90s.
At the same time, motherhood has left a clear mark on the album, guiding both Obel's thoughts and compositional process in new directions. The Meaning of Flowers is dedicated to her daughter: “She who has changed me and raised me and taught me so much – and I can feel so much more awaits to be learned.
Following a five-year hiatus from the stage, Agnes Obel returned in 2025 with performances including London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall and two sold-out concerts at the DR Koncerthuset's Concert Hall in Copenhagen. Here, GAFFA awarded five out of six stars, describing how “Agnes Obel spellbound the audience at DR’s Koncerthus with a beautiful, forward-looking, and deeply musical mixture of old and new.”
On October 3, 2027, Agnes Obel returns to Copenhagen, performing at the Opera House for the very first time with music from The Meaning of Flowers and her critically acclaimed back catalog.
