For the very first time, Kork performs the music from NRK's popular Lars Monsen series live for an audience. Lars Monsen enters the stage to the sound of his own music, and is welcomed by the evening's hosts, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen and Mads Ousdal, who also perform selected texts from Peer Gynt, with Rondane National Park as a majestic backdrop.

When Laila premiered in 1929, the film marked a pinnacle in Norwegian silent film history. Nearly a hundred years later, it receives a framework again that reflects both the format and the ambition level: shown on a large screen, with live music performed by Arctic Philharmonic. At the Festivals in Northern Norway, Gunnar Schnéevoigt’s silent film Laila and Ole Olsen’s music from the opera Lajla from 1893, arranged for orchestra by Halldor Krogh, come together for the very first time – with the orchestra assembled on stage. The result is a rare and powerful overall experience, in line with the silent film tradition as it was originally conceived.

A mayor and investors plan to cut down an old oak forest in order to build cabins. To save the forest and everyone who lives there, youngsters Ciril and Noah take up the fight.

The Night Folk is a humorous and playful opera which mixes several styles and references. It features famous operas such as Mozart’s The Magic Flute and Bizet’s Carmen along with traditional Norwegian children’s songs, pop music, contemporary music and rhythmic antics. The story is serious and humorous at the same time – it is simply a bird opera that speaks on behalf of Nature.

The village of Indre Kluredal consists of two areas: The local center with the town hall, and an old oak forest where the Night Folk live in a kind of magical universe. They resemble both birds and humans, and they all love to sing and imitate sounds. The Night Folk are shy and like things to remain as they have always been. Few know they exist. The mayor of Indre Kluredal, forest owner Kjell, comes into conflict with the Night Folk. They will lose their lives if the oak forest is cut down to make way for the new cabins and park area Kjell wants to build. The only power the Night Folk have is a witch who can take away people’s singing voice, making their lives miserable.

Johan Svendsen's debut symphony impressed Edvard Grieg so much that he withdrew his own symphony and forbade it from being performed. Now you'll hear both composers' symphonies at the same concert - which will be your favorite?
