RIGOLETTO Comes to Den Norske Opera & Ballett Next Month
by BWW News Desk - January 20, 2022
It reeks of hunting, power and wet moss. An ugly hunchbacked man wanders among the trunks of dark pines, bearing a secret. Hidden away at home is his daughter, Gilda, whom he loves more than anything on earth. Among the guys, he acts tough in order to be liked – especially by his boss, the duke. When Rigoletto realises that the duke has also been together with his daughter, he commits a horrible crime, one that has tremendous consequences.

Mozart and Brahms Concert Comes to Den Norske Opera & Ballett in February
by BWW News Desk - December 23, 2021
Da Mozart i 1787 skrev sine to strykekvintetter, etablerte han en helt ny musikalsk standard: Han doblet nemlig antallet bratsjer. Denne endringen skulle gi liv til en helt ny kammermusikkbesetning som flere av ettertidens komponister bygde videre på. G-moll-kvintetten, som vi får høre denne kvelden, er mørk og melankolsk av karakter og vekker assosiasjoner til både operaen Don Giovanni og Mozarts symfoni nr. 40 i g-moll.

BWW Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Lørenskog Hus – Still Abnormally Heartbreaking
by Christian Ranke - September 07, 2021
When 'Next to Normal' premiered in Norway back in 2010 it was the very first production to open after the original on Broadway a year and half prior. It was not a replica production, but mimicked it in a lot of ways. It had the three floor structure, endless amount of lightbulbs in the ceilings. This revival, that opened at Lørenskog Hus last Friday, is anything but a replica.

BWW Review (amateur production): BILLY ELLIOT at Lillestrøm Kultursenter – Billy is Flying High!
by Christian Ranke - August 26, 2021
The first Norwegian non-professional production of Billy Elliot is a solid piece of entertainment, and deserves to be seen by the local community. I urge parents to ask their kids to put down the smartphones, iPads and gaming devices for a few hours and go experience Billy Elliot's journey of self-discovery. You parents may learn a thing or two as well, along the way.

by Christian Ranke - August 17, 2021
There is nothing amateurish about Enebakk Musikkteater's open-air production of 'Fiddler on the Roof' by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick. While some may lack experience in performing, as an ensemble they present a wholesome end-result, with a scenery that is to die for. This review is based on last year’s run. It will re-open next week.
