BEK is working with the great artists, Christine Istad and Lisa Pacini, on welcoming the sun to Bergen. The sun is arriving at 14.30 pm tomorrow, the 22th of February with Hurtigruta…

Composer Knut Vaage and librettist Torgeir Rebolledo Pedersen’s recently written work Khairos is a modern on & offshore opera about a man with a hyper-sensitivity to sound.
