Opera that’s young at heart

Every year, In the Limelight music theatre group for 12–16-year-olds has free reign to create and produce a music theatre performance after their own heart, in co-operation with seasoned professionals. This season, the group will put their creativity to work on the themes of the ballet Romeo and Juliet.

”Every Thursday at school I count the hours to the rehearsal where I can meet my ‘family’ and do what I really love. This is absolutely the best hobby in the universe!”

– a member of In the limelight group

The best hobby in the universe

Watch the spring 2021 performance online

In spring 2021, the maritime-themed opera Peter Grimes prompted young people to contemplate friendship and its similarity to the sea and its waves. The 14-minute performance was partly rehearsed and created remotely and recorded at the Opera House amphitheatre and the Cultural House Martinus.
