Coral Chorale is a performance created specifically for children between zero and three years. Here they are enticed by the sounds into a skjellformet tent in the foyer, where two athletes with custom-made instruments creates music and singing. After approximately 20 minutes long, the show invited children and their adult companions to explore space and the instruments on your own. Instruments similar to beings from the sea – strange creatures such as havhestharpe, the pipe, sack, sack, glasschimesmanet and double animal whistle. Maybe we are somewhere under the sea in the Arctic Ocean? Sounds into language and singing in a musical play. In this opera, it is not something that should be explained or understood, and babies and adults have equal conditions for experience. The success of Coral has now played 270 Chorale performances for more than ten thousand audience members, have toured in Norway with the National Theater, and has been shown at the Bergen International Festival and the Festival of North Norway. It has also visited Sweden, Faroe Islands and the Netherlands and will be on tour to England, Ireland and France.
