Musical landscapes<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If Anders Hillborg’s cello concerto were a postcard, the recipient would certainly be pleasantly surprised. The picture on the front cover would be of the magical kind, where the landscape is constantly changing shape. He lets the music, with the strings and the cellist \u2013 here with soloist Amalie Stalheim in the lead \u2013 move between stillness and emotional storms, and finally lands in a longing loneliness.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Ume\u00e5 residents are already familiar with Anna-Lena Laurin’s musical views. The Norrlandsoperan Symphony Orchestra has premiered her work The Painter<\/em>, for trumpet, jazz trio and orchestra. Anna-Lena began her career as a jazz pianist and singer, and as a composer she is known for her ability to fuse the tonal language of jazz and art music. This evening we get the chance to reflect on the passage of time, through her Time of Changes<\/em> from 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We begin the evening with a work by a third Swedish great, Andrea Tarrodi, born in 1981. In 2024, she was praised for her children’s opera Lost<\/em> at the Royal Swedish Opera and the year before that, she was current with Pite\u00e5 Chamber Opera’s short opera Sylvia about Sylvia<\/em> Plath. The evening’s music, Fragments of Enlightenment<\/em> from 2022, with its stubborn striving towards the light, can be interpreted as a portrayal of the human need for escapism.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though we appreciate our Swedish views, it’s still nice to dream away sometimes. Speaking of which, the Norwegian landscapes aren’t that bad either, as you can see in the picture above.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Restaurant Owner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Catering in the spring of 2025<\/strong>In the spring, Norrlandsoperan will once again have a restaurant in the building. Right now, a procurement process is underway for a new restaurateur who will also be in charge of the intermission service at our concerts and performances. We are really looking forward to being able to present who will be our new restaurateur at Norrlandsoperan.

Refreshments in connection with the performance<\/strong>During March, the restaurateur Nova’s restaurant opens in connection with performances and concerts. You can hereby buy coffee and other goodies one hour before the start and during the intermission. The menu includes various drinks, homemade pastries and homemade pies, sandwiches and sandwich cake (the selection may vary). While waiting for a serving permit, non-alcoholic beverages are served.

Pre-order intermission refreshments<\/strong>From April, you can also pre-order your intermission refreshments to avoid queues and secure a reserved table where your order is served. More information will be available to those who have bought tickets for events in April and onwards.

Norrlandsoperan<\/strong> has been searching for a new restaurant operator for some time, and we look forward to introducing our new restaurant operator later this spring. The restaurant will open in early summer, offering food, drinks, and a great atmosphere. The opera house will once again become a vibrant and welcoming place.

A warm welcome!
