“OPERA ON THE ROCKS”

With some of the Nordic region's most talented musicians at the helm, the magnificent show "OPERA ON THE ROCKS" mixes some of the best from the world of opera with the ditto of rock music. In the unusual mix, a completely unique, musical experience emerges, which will undoubtedly excite everyone from opera to rock lovers, when songs like "NESSON DORMA", "O MIO BABBINO CARO", "LOVE OF MY LIFE" "THE SHOW MUST GO ON ”and“ THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA ”“ ACE OF SPADES ”and much more are on the program.

On the classical side, we are proud to be able to present a strong, Nordic quartet, which consists of: soprano/mezzo Sofia Warden-Bigom, tenor Andreas Bigum and not least Bass-Bariton Per Hoyer.

To ensure that the three classical singers are added to a solid time rock, we have had the German / English rock singer Oliver Weers, who unfortunately does not have time anymore, but who with his huge voice, enchanted the audience and helped to do this to a great show.
