Clara Dupré has created the poster for Showbåden 2026, a live opera canal tour presented by Copenhagen Opera Festival in collaboration with Stromma Danmark.

For people new to opera, Showbåden gives a direct way into the form.

The 2026 production is called For fuld svanehals.

The show uses the swan as its central subject. The programme refers to ballet, opera, fairy tales, myth and national romanticism.

The music ranges from Tchaikovsky and Wagner to Schubert, with material from musical theatre and pop.

The festival has also shared a Tidal playlist for the music. This is useful for new listeners. Hearing the pieces before the performance helps the audience recognise voices, melodies and changes in mood during the cruise.

Clara is an artist, illustrator, print maker, dog walker and queen of chickens, represented by Agency DU. Her poster gives Showbåden its campaign image and places the event clearly within Copenhagen Opera Festival’s 2026 programme.
