Sounds great! I wonder who has gone to the trouble to set this up? It will be interesting to see if they venture into current debates about the preservation of the Bournonville heritage.

This has the look and feel of Estelle's work to me....

I now have it on good authority that the Bournonville website is being developed by Danish Bournonville experts -- Erik Aschengreen, Anne Marie Vessel Schluter and Knud Arne Jurgensen. It is hoped that site development will be complete toward the end of the calendar year.
