Our audience kept commenting on the music and sound for our production. So we made a studio album.
You can download it for free at CD Baby. Or listen to it on Soundcloud. And you won’t regret it. The music, including Grieg arrangements by Eric Parson, and original compositions by Parson and Chris Molla, shows the depth of feeling, and the range of fun, inspired by this epic play.
The videos and official trailer are here!
Watch a 3-minute trailer of the production, or the whole dress rehearsal performance. Videos edited by Lisa Banks.
The SF Symphony is putting on selections from “Peer Gynt” January 17, 18, 19, including music by Grieg and staged scenes from the play!
The talented James Darrah directs, with Michael Tilson Thomas at the helm of the music. Even better, our dear friend Jessie Merlin is appearing as the Troll King!
Field trip, everybody.
Peer Gynt: Adventurer, Fraud, Poet, and Truth-Seeker
An excellent essay on Peer Gynt’s character, full of contradictions and energy. Written by the leading Ibsen expert in Norway, the inimitable Vigdis Ystad.
A review of the production we saw in Norway (reviewed by Benedikte Berntzen). The production takes place on a mountain lake every year in the Gudbrands Valley, where the historical Peer Gynt lived.
All Ibsen, all the time. This tri-lingual website has real-time links to Ibsen events all over the world, PLUS all the Ibsen history you could ask for, PLUS production histories for his plays! Plus… well, everything.
Big cheer for our friend Benedikte Berntzen, who is one of the editors!
