Summartónar 2009     

Aldubáran participated in this years Faroese Festival for Contemporary Music.

Full schedule

 

Opera performed in Iceland at The National Theatre of Iceland

After a sensational premiere, Aldubaran and the Faroese national theatre was invited to the International Arts´s Festival in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The opera Í Óđamansgarđi (The Madman's Garden) will be performed at the National Theatre of Iceland in collaboration with The National Stage of The Faroe Islands.

The International Art's Festival wrote in their programme:

Boy meets girl – in an unusual setting. Both on stage and outside. For the first time, we have the opportunity to experience Faroese opera in Iceland. Based on a short story by famous Faroese writer, William Heinesen, the Faroese composer, Sunleif Rasmussen, and librettist, Dánial Hoydal, have created an opera that tells the story of how a boy, Marselius, meets a girl, Stella Kristina, in a madman’s garden.

The mysterious madman is almost totally inactive, but the entire story evolves around him and the young couple's perception of him. Is he mad? What is his background? Does he have supernatural powers? Does he even exist? In their quest to answer these questions which become essential to the young couple, they define themselves and their relationship. We follow their development, fantasies and struggle to cope with the mystery of life, adolescence and love, staged in the gloomy shadow of the madman and his seductive garden.

Commissioned in 2001 by  Aldubáran and staged as a joint production between The Nordic House and The National Stage of The Faroe Islands, the opera is an enormous undertaking for a country which has a population of less than 50,000 people. It is, therefore, with pride that the islanders now invite audience and media around the world to witness this historic event.

The Madman's Gardenis a chamber opera performed by an ensemble of 15 musicians, two actors, three singers and two dancers. The performers are from Iceland and the Faroe Islands.

Musicians: Sámal Petersen, Jón Festirstein, violin - Angelika Nielsen, viola - Tóri Restorff Jacobsen, cello - Agnar Lamhauge, doublebass - Andrea Heindriksdóttir, flute, Ármann Helgason, clarinet, Eyđdis Franzdóttir, obo - Christina Andersen, bassoon - Stefŕn Jón Bernharđsson, horn - Johan Hentze, trumpet - Andras Olsen, trombone - Jóhannes Andreasen, keyboard - Ólavur Jakobsen, guitar - Mathias Seibćk, percussion
