18/10
Leinonen/Franzén/Zappalà
DANCE Three-part dance programme by Susanna Leinonen, Helena Franzén and Roberto Zappalà.
World premier 14 October 2011.
Three choreographers and three world premiers for totally newly written music. Susanna Leinonen is based in Helsinki and her style is described as ambitious, bright and polished with thousands of details. The music for her new work was created by Kasperi Lane.
In a review, DN wrote the following about Helena Franzén: "Few Swedish choreographers are so generous, stimulatingly witty and physically intelligent". Her new work is called Fading. Music by Jukka Rintamäki.
Roberto Zappalà is artistic director of Zappalà Danza in Sicily. His new work Sud-virus (South virus) is an ironic observation of how the south can be seen as a virus of the north. The music by Puccio Castrogiovanni is played live.

West Side Story
MUSICAL Based on a concept by Jerome Robbins. Script by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein. Song lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Directed by Stina Ancker. Performed in Swedish.
Premiere 17 September 2011.
West Side Story is called ”the best musical in the world”. It is about the two rival gangs, the Jets and the Sharks, and the forbidden love of Tony and Maria. The classic hit songs were written by Leonard Bernstein. In an ingenious way, the big dance numbers move the plot forward. Our production is directed by Stina Ancker, who has taken the timelessness of the drama into consideration. Nick Davies and Finn Rosengren are directing. In the principal parts, we will see the new promising talents, Sofie Asplund and Bruno Mitsogiannis
6/12
Tosca
OPERA in three acts by Giacomo Puccini. Directed by Lorenzo Mariani.
Premiere 19 November 2011.
In the Tosca opera classic, beautiful Puccini melodies meet a thriller-like plot where love and jealousy, passion and violent and sudden deaths are given a free rein. It is about the singer, Floria Tosca, who is in love with the artist, Mario Cavaradossi – and about the police chief, Scarpia, who, in turn, also wants Tosca. The three principal characters are all based on historical models. We see and hear the well-reputed singer, Ingela Brimberg, as Tosca, Tomas Lind as Cavaradossi and Anders Lorentzson as Baron Scarpia.
