Bridal Procession on the Hardangerfjord. The Norwegian National Ballet in the National Museum.
The ballet performances are unfortunately sold out.
The iconic painting "Bridal Procession on the Hardangerfjord" is brought to life as a ballet in the Light Hall at the National Museum.
170 years ago, the Danish choreographer August Bournonville created a ballet inspired by Tidemand and Gude’s painting, Bridal Procession on the Hardangerfjord (1848). From the 8th to the 10th of March, we present excerpts from the original ballet in combination with a modern reinterpretation. The performance is a collaboration between the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and the National Museum. FRIKAR plays a prominent role in the reinterpretation.
Coreographers: Melissa Hough, Dinna Bjørn, August Bournonville. Costume design: Ahmed Umar. Composers: Holger Simon Paulli, Peter Baden.
