The performance on 1 Nov. at 18.00 is sold out
EXTRA PERFORMANCE 10. November at 20.00.
Join us on a journey in text and music based on the heyday of "Lysthuset Hjorten" in Ila! There will be well-known songs, reunions with old heroes and a high charm factor from the trio Lars Eggen, Are Hembre and Trond Hustad.
With Hjorten as the "common thread", Trøndelag's rich revue life is also presented. Hjorten Revy- og Varietéteater was founded in Ila in 1867 by Hans Lemvig Christiansen. Many big stars visited Hjorten over the years, and a number of successes were staged at the theatre. Entertainment ceased in 1947, restaurant operations continued until 1955 and were finally demolished in 1961. With this performance, Opera Trøndelag offers a look back at a bygone era of glory.
Based on an idea by Opera Trøndelag
