Press coverage

Lillian Bikset, Lyden av både-og (literally: The Sound of a Mixed Experience), Dagbladet, 05.09.2008:

"What a choir! Several of the supporting actors in Sound of Music have backgrounds from the opera, and that can be heard. The musical level of the Norwegian revival of the popular musical towers high above what one usually expects from the musical stage. Unfortunately a lot of the acting is of the opera category too: Overly clear body language and stiff facial expressions."
