CANCELLED Sæverud´s blood-dripping ballet

The "At" Series

In this series, we are at the composer´s homes, learing more about them and their music.

In 2024, we invite the audience into the worlds of Ole Bull, Edvard Grieg, and Harald Sæverud. What characterizes their music? Who were they as composers, and how does one listen to the music they created?

About "Ridder Blåskjeggs mareritt"

The story of the wife-killing Blåskjegg (Bluebeard) is taken from Charles Perrault's collection of French folktales. In 1960, Harald Sæverud tackled this blood-curdling material.

In "Ridder Blåskjeggs mareritt", the knight is haunted by his murdered wives. This macabre ballet showcases Sæverud at his best.

Pianist Christian Grøvlen plays and talks about the work.
