Line 3: '''''Caroline Mathilde''''' is a two-act [[ballet]] to music by Sir [[Peter Maxwell Davies]]. Its original choreographer was [[Flemming Flindt]] in 1991. It tells the story of the eighteenth-century English [[princess]] [[Caroline Matilda of Great Britain\|Caroline Mathilde]] (sister of [[George III]]), who in 1766 was sent to [[Denmark]] aged 15 to be married to the 17-year-old [[schizophrenic]] Danish ~~King~~king, [[Christian VII]]. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the ~~King~~king's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with [[Struensee]], the ~~King~~king's influential physician, which ultimately leads to their arrest, his execution and her exile at the age of 20, separated from her two young children. As with Davies' earlier ballet, ''[[Salome (ballet)\|Salome]]'', it was a commission by the [[Royal Danish Ballet]]. It was first performed on 14 March 1991 at the [[Royal Danish Theatre]], [[Copenhagen]]. The orchestra was conducted by [[Markus Lehtinen]]. Davies prepared two ~~Concert~~concert ~~Suites~~suites, each based on an act of the ballet. ==See also==
