Stoic
Creation by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. Stoic is his third collaboration with GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, following the airy Noetic (2014) and the down-to-earth Icon (2016).
La bohème
Once, we were all going to live forever. Puccini’s La bohème is easy to love. In four short acts, he captures the recklessness of youth, where it blossoms, wilts and dies. Hope and despair stand side-by-side.
La ville morte
Human blindness and obsession. Opera by Nadia Boulanger & Raoul Pugno. Performed as a concert. This will be the second ever performance of Boulanger’s only opera. A tragic tale suffused with symbolism and decadence.
Così fan tutte
Who takes whom in Mozart’s comedy? Fast-paced comedy of errors on tour in Västra Götaland. Humans succumb to their weaknesses – as we all do – but Mozart stands on the side of unfaltering love. The music is composed with beauty, devotion and endless emotional depth.
3D International
A new, international collaboration between three of the top European dance companies for contemporary dance: GöteborgsOperans Danskompani, Holland’s Scapino Ballet and Tanz Mainz of Germany.
Tosca
When prayers cannot help. Tosca is a passionate emotional triangle with the feel of a thriller, depicting a single day over three acts. It connects with audiences on a deeply emotional level, presenting an incredibly strong heroine and a truly cruel villain in the lead roles, performed with heart-rendingly beautiful Puccini melodies.
