In the middle of the summer greenery and with the Ume River as a backdrop, the Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra<\/strong> plays summery pieces of music from the classical repertoire, world soprano Sandra Bendrik<\/strong> sings opera and we see the dance duo Land before Time<\/strong> in a performance that combines freestyle and popping. The master of ceremonies is Dan Turd\u00e9n, Norrlandsoperan’s artistic director of opera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
