You feel the difference between production and performance.
We're back at Teatro Argentina. Half of us are missing.
These behind the scenes are from the almost three-week creation period here last year – making Antigone.

The winter guests are back in the stable and the Jingle Horse is up on its feet!

Opening tonight at the Norwegian Opera and Ballet. I’m incredibly excited that we get to kick off the holiday season once again with this Christmas Special bonanza. Thank you to all the clever little elves in all the departments backstage and around this big opera house for making this verifiable theatre machine of a holiday show come to life.
A great welcome to our new dancers this season. Melissa, Simon, (all returning all star ballerina - Emma). You are all brilliant!

Last but not least, an incredible thank you to the original winter guests - my family: Kate, Susie, Yvonne, Daniel, Anton, Huy and Andrew - I love you very much. Thank you for bringing your incredible artistry to the stage and to the rehearsals every day. I wouldn’t want to do this without you. You are beautiful and you inspire me.
Happy Holidays!
