On the 150th anniversary of its creation, we are mounting the ever-popular Incidental Music for Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg. Transcending the music, this production aims to return the fantastical story of Peer to its central position in the play through a slew of musicians, folk dancers, actors, disembodied voices, and extravagant adventures to far off exotic places. A collaboration between the Northwest Edvard Grieg Society, Choir of the Sound, & Thalia Symphony, this rendition will be nothing if not over-the-top.
