Even if Palle Mikkelborg is one of Denmark’s most
innovative and original jazz musicians ever, the
description, jazz musician doesn’t quite cover it.
His musical expression is formed just as much
by composers like Ravel and Messiaen as musicians like Miles Davis and George Russell. Palle
Mikkelborg is self-taught and has, since the end
of the 1960s challenged conventions with his
unique trumpet playing and crossover projects.

Comedy and sweet music in a
dynamic and timeless opera.
It is not without foundation that Rossini’s The
Barber of Seville is one of the world’s most
performed operas.
Vibrant music from start to finish and a charming story of young Rosina, who, with the help
of the ingenious barber Figaro, finally wins the
man she loves. All this, and an abundance of
jesting and intrigues too.
In 2016 it will be 200 years since the opera’s
world premiere at Teatro Argentina in Rome.
The Bergen International Festival, in collaboration with Opera Bergen and the Arctic
Philharmonic, is proud to present a completely
new production of this colorful opera.
Be prepared for both extravagant rococo and
modern scenography. The cast includes recognized international and Norweg
