How the Queen of Denmark Shaped the Look of Netflix’s “Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction”
The New York Times: Once upon a time, there was a princess in Denmark who aspired to become an artist.
Though she was the eldest child of the country’s reigning king, for the first 12 years of the princess’s life, only men had the right to inherit the throne. That changed when the Danish constitution was amended in 1953, and the princess became her father’s presumptive heir soon after turning 13.

The Queen of Denmark’s life sounds like such a lovely fairy tail. I think is is sweet and a luxury that she has found the time to be both an artist and monarch, although I’m she is mostly a figurehead for the government. Using decoupage was such an interesting idea for the scenic design.
Recently the school of music had a position on their show similar to Queen Margrethe’s, where the costume designer was also the scenic coordinator. I unfortunately wasn’t able to see that show, but the pictures from it are gorgeous. There is absolutely more cohesion in the world building when the scenic and costume design are done by one person. The first example that comes to mind is CMU’s production of Godspell: it was an incredible show with some of the best designs I’ve seen at this school. But I couldn’t see the connection between the scenic and costume elements. They felt like they came from two separate worlds.
