Line 2: '''''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 was sent to [[Denmark]] aged 15 to be married to the 17-year-old [[schizophrenic]] Danish King, [[Christian VII]]. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with [[Struensee]], the 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 [[Kongelige Theater]], [[Copenhagen]]. The orchestra was conducted by [[Markus Lehtinen]]. Davies prepared two Concert Suites, each based on an act of the ballet.
