in this staging of henrik ibsen's masterpiece, we go into the core of peer gynt. ibsen's symbol-heavy and rich text is interpreted by a strong team of actors, and ragnhild hemsing, one of our foremost grieg interpreters, is on stage with ole bull's own harding fiddle. in grieghallen and the opera the production will perform with a full symphony orchestra and choir, before returning to the national theatre in full theatre version.
