Introduction

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
29/11
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.

noBody
DANCE WORK by Sasha Waltz. Music by Hans Peter Kuhn.
Premiere 25 February 2012.
Sasha Waltz is one of the absolutely greatest choreographers in contemporary dance. We are very proud to produce her well-known work, noBody, for the first time in Gothenburg. noBody discusses ideas and feelings about our mortality and asks what the immortal in us actually is. The title means both "no body" and "nobody". The dancers move in magical flowing formations and complex patterns in a magnificent, poetic and moving production.
