The army leader Jabbadoor has sold his soul to Ba'al-Zebub, and plots to take control of Atlantis. With the unwitting help of Silvan, a young harbour worker who has fallen in love with the king's daughter, Jabbadoor gains control of the throne. But it is not long before things go wrong...Read the complete synopsis in Danish or English.

Was there ever an Atlantis? If there was, where was it located, and what happened to it? These are just a few of the questions that have intrigued and fascinated people for over two thousand years, since the first mention of the lost continent in the dialogues of Plato. Take a look at some more details about the legend of Atlantis or find out more about how the musical developed and see some pictures from the show.


I probably would have never heard of this CD if my friend Alison hadn't spent a year in Denmark and picked it up there. :-) But it's great! Take a look at my reviews of the CD, or visit my sounds page to hear clips from the different recordings.

There's also a video and DVD available from the 10th anniversary concert - read more about that that recording.


I've never seen a fully staged production of this show, but I *did* go all the way to Copenhagen to see the 10th anniversary concert in 2003! It was a really special evening, with most of the original cast performing all of the music from the show. Read more about that experience.

I was lucky enough to see some of the great performers from the recordings on stage as well, which only increased my appreciation of them! Take a look at my thoughts on some of these performers.

Once you're done looking around here, check out some of the other Atlantis websites that are out there.
