Ny Adelgade
Ny Adelgade is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Kongens Nytorv in the east to Grønnegade in the west. History Ny Adelgade was created after Copenhagen's East Rampart was moved from its original course along present-day Gothersgade to present-day Øster Voldgade. Former viceadmiral and governor of Norway Niels Trolle had to part with some of his estate at the site for the project in 1668. In 1681, the street is referred to as "Lille Adelgade (Little Adelgade") at the Corps de Guard" and in 1701 as "Bag Corps de Guarden" ("Behind the Corps de Guard"). In the 18th century, the street was for a while known as Lille Grønnegade. In 1721, the French actor and restaurateur Etienne Capion was granted a license to open a theatre. Lille Grønnegade Theatre's building was completed in January 1722 and the first performance, in September that same year, was Molière's ''l'Avare ''The Miser'' (french: L'Avare; ; also known by the longer name ''L'Avare ou L'� ...

Kongens Nytorv
Kongens Nytorv ( lit. "The King's New Square") is a public square in Copenhagen, Denmark, centrally located at the end of the pedestrian street Strøget. The largest square of the city, it was laid out by Christian V in 1670 in connection with a major extension of the fortified city, and has an equestrian statue of him at its centre.

Important buildings facing the square include the Royal Danish Theater from 1874, the Charlottenborg Palace from 1671 (now the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), the Thott Palace from 1683 (now the French Embassy), the Hotel D'Angleterre and the Magasin du Nord department store.

Molière
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (, ; 15 January 1622 (baptised) – 17 February 1673), known by his stage name Molière (, , ), was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and world literature. His extant works include comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. His influence is such that the French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière". Born into a prosperous family and having studied at the Collège de Clermont (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière was well suited to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years as an itinerant actor helped him polish his comedic abilities while he began writing, combining Commedia dell'arte elements with the more refined French comedy. Through the patronage of aristocrats includin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
