Director

Claes Malmberg, Pia Johansson and Mats Blomgren in Strindberg's classic relationship drama. Directed by Nora Nilsson.

For twenty-five long years, the married couple Edgar (Claes Malmberg) and Alice (Pia Johansson) have lived on an isolated island in the archipelago. He, an artillery captain, and she, a former actress.

The marriage has been completely frozen for many years and the sadness is great over the future that was not. Poisonous lines fly between them.

In the opera cabaret Jag är Ulla Winblad, the 18th century's most legendary and celebrated Stockholm woman gets to play the lead role in her own story. Behind the Folkoperan" class="css-u850">Folkoperan's anniversary performance is the super trio Klas Östergren, who wrote the libretto, the composer Andrea Tarrodi and the director Nora Nilsson. On stage, the actors Björn Kjellman and Hanna Dorsin meet with the Folkoperan's soloists and orchestra.

When an elderly Bellman (Björn Kjellman) seeks out “Ulla” (Hanna Dorsin) to say goodbye and perhaps reconcile, we are thrown back to the days of youth and the brutal 18th century Stockholm. Among bustling taverns and stinking alleys, the young beauty Maria Kristina Kjellström “Maja-Stina” (Tessan-Maria Lehmussaari) and the young star Carl Michael Bellman (Wiktor Sundqvist) meet.
