BWW Review: JERSEY BOYS at Chateau Neuf - Oh, What A Night! Jersey Boys Delivers, Firing on All Cylinders
by Christian Ranke - January 31, 2022
I fell in love with Jersey Boys when I discovered the cast recording back in 2006. That recording turned me into a fan of the group The Four Seasons which I honestly didn't know before this. Granted I knew some of the songs, but I found it fascinating that also 'my elders' didn't really know the group either. Later I learned that they never toured outside the United states. That could be a reason why the band went under the radar. I saw the musical twice in London and once in Las Vegas although my jetlag almost killed that experience. I had to drink four Red Bulls to stay awake. Luckily I did not need any Red Bull during the Norwegian premiere of this show. The show itself was energy booster enough for me.

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.

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.
