MidtåsenChildrens festival – Kjærstebrusen

KJÆRSTEBRUSEN! (fritt etter Elskovsdrikken) 

The trickster Dulcamara arrives in the small village – far out in the forest on Midtåsen – and tricks the peasant boy Nemorino into rolling around with a fantastic magic potion. The horse-loving and literate Adina eventually lets herself be convinced of what is best for both her and the villagers. But – it is with the help of the audience’s magic song that everything is resolved! Free after Donizetti’s opera The Love Potion and his wonderfully catchy and cheerful music!

The performances are played outdoors on Midtåsen  ​​​​

8. – 10. – 13. – 17. – 20. July at 5:00 PM

TRYLLEFLØYTEN 

The birdcatcher Papageno can hardly wait to give children of all ages a new wonderful season of Mozart's adventurous singing play The Magic Flute out in the forest at Midtåsen. He has ten professional singers with him along with The Three Boys, Pap-Pap children, a flutist and pianist……..and the fire-breathing dragon.

The performances are played outdoors at Midtåsen
