Man Must Sing

Man Must Sing makes innovative and norm-creative performing arts in Swedish. New opera in a smart and intimate format with the story in focus.

Man Must Sing are the singers Nina Ewald, Amanda Flodin and Karl Peter Eriksson.

Nina is the soprano who with her shimmering sonorous voice and brilliant high notes makes the audience lose their breath. Amanda is the mezzo-soprano who, with virtuosity and sonorous beauty, likes to surprise the audience with her colorful expression. Karl Peter is the baritone with both a silky smooth and powerful voice that enchants the audience with his obvious stage presence.

The chamber opera AQUARIUM:

Alice is awake at night and worries about the rising climate threat. Dante is homeless and thinks mostly about how to raise money for shelter and food. But life coach Ewa has the solution to all their problems. Or?

Akvarium is a newly written chamber opera in Swedish in an act created by the linguistically explosive poet Naima Chahboun, the highly current composer Roger Assar Johansson, the socially engaged director Gunilla Johansson and the norm-creative vocal trio Man Must Sing. It is about individual solutions to structural problems, about a bath in the aquarium of the Marine Biology Research Center, and about daring to be confronted with the dark sides of life. The title is inspired by the acclaimed "Idea list of pleasurable activities" used in Swedish psychiatry. Here is a list of different activities that will get acutely depressed people in a better mood. Item 137 on the list reads: "Caring for an aquarium."

YOU MUST MEET MOZART & TRANSTRÖMER:

With joy and longing, we meet Mozart's effervescent music and invite you to a fireworks display of voices, tones and Tranström lyrics. Every day thousands of meetings take place. Some pass unnoticed, others are vital. Some are random, others you will never forget. Here we let you witness an unforgettable meeting between Tranströmer and Mozart.

Man Must Meet is a collaboration between Man Must Sing and pianist Maria Ingemarsson Berg. A program filled with tersets, duets and arias by WA Mozart mixed with lyrics by Tomas Tranströmer.
