Experience Herbert Nordrum as Peer in Ibsen's magnificent drama with Grieg’s extraordinary music.

Most of us know Peer Gynt. The guy who drinks, lies and charms the ladies but runs when things get complicated. The guy who battles his inner demons and outer tribulations and finds success abroad – but who eventually returns to the woman who is waiting for him, to his Solveig.

In this production of Henrik Ibsen's classic play, Norwegian director Johannes Holmen Dahl explores the very core of Peer Gynt. Ibsen's play is performed with Edvard Grieg's magnificent original music, just as it was for the play's world premiere in 1876 – but rarely in modern times.

What can the contrast and tension between Ibsen's political and satirical play and Grieg's Norwegian national romantic music tell us today?

Johannes Holmen Dahl is one of Norway's leading theatre directors, who, together with scenographer and costume designer Nia Damerell, has staged a number of critically acclaimed plays, including Hamlet (2021) and Tid for glede (2022).

As they take on Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt, they are joined by actor Herbert Nordrum in the lead role. Among his many notable roles, Nordrum is known for the Oscar-nominated film The Worst Person in the World and the critically acclaimed Hamlet at Nationaltheatret in Oslo.

Together with a strong ensemble, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and a large choir, a powerful experience awaits where the essence of Ibsen's writing is highlighted, and the music is allowed to shine.

The performance is a co-production between the Bergen International Festival and Nationaltheatret – a theatre rooted in Ibsen's own theatre. The music is performed by Grieg's orchestra – the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Thomas Søndergård.

After its premiere at the 2024 Bergen International Festival, the production will be staged at the Norwegian Opera & Ballet and Nationaltheatret.

Opplev Herbert Nordrum som Peer i Ibsens storslåtte drama med Griegs enestående musikk.

De fleste kjenner Peer Gynt. Han som drikker, lyver og sjarmerer kvinner, men stikker av når det blir vanskelig. Han som kjemper mot indre demoner og ytre prøvelser og gjør det stort i utlandet – men som til slutt kommer tilbake til sin ventende Solveig.

I denne oppsetningen av Henrik Ibsens klassiker skal regissør Johannes Holmen Dahl gå inn i kjernen av Peer Gynt. Ibsens teaterstykke fremføres sammen med Edvard Griegs praktfulle originalmusikk, slik det ble gjort under urpremieren i 1876 – men sjelden i nyere tid. Hva kan kontrasten og spenningen mellom Ibsens politiske og satiriske tekst og Edvard Griegs nasjonalromantiske musikk fortelle oss i dag?

Johannes Holmen Dahl er en av våre ledende teaterregissører, som sammen med scenograf og kostymedesigner Nia Damerell har satt opp en rekke kritikerroste forestillinger, blant annet Hamlet (2021) og Tid for glede (2022).

Når de nå skal gripe tak i Henrik Ibsens Peer Gynt, er det med skuespiller Herbert Nordrum i tittelrollen, kjent fra blant annet Oscar-nominerte Verdens verste menneske og Nationaltheatrets kritikerroste Hamlet. Sammen med et sterkt ensemble, Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester og et stort kor blir det en mektig opplevelse, hvor essensen i Ibsens tekst blir løftet frem og musikken får skinne.

Forestillingen er en samproduksjon med Nationaltheatret, som har røtter i Ibsens eget teater, og musikken fremføres av Griegs orkester, Bergen Filharmoniske Orkester, under ledelse av Thomas Søndergård. Premieren er under Festspillene i Bergen 2024, før forestillingen videreføres på Den Norske Opera & Ballett og Nationaltheatret.
