Hedda Gabler
In the fall of 2017, we meet Hedda Gabler on the main stage of the Norwegian State Opera. She is one of the most famous dramatic characters in the world, an icon created by Henrik Ibsen. The play of a deep psychology is transformed into a ballet, created by the stage director Marit Moum Aune on the music by Nils Petter Molvær. Hedda is furious because her disappointment is gnawing. The honeymoon in Europe is behind her, and now she has returned home with her husband, Jorgen. Nothing was as she had thought. And when her former lover, Eilert Loevborg, emerges, she reacts in a dangerous way for everyone, including herself. It is for the second time that the renowned stage director, Marit Moum Aune, transforms the play of Ibsen into a ballet. She staged Ghosts by Ibsen with Cina Espejord. This ballet has become one of the greatest successes of the National
Ballet of Norway.
