I've never felt this way about anyone and it's not something I tell everyone - WORLD PREMIERE

January 24 at 18:00 p.m. - 19:00

50 SEK

Okay, Anna, Kristoffer and Moa are best friends and they hang out every night after school, just that, Anna and Kristoffer are together, Anna and Moa have known each other since they were little and it's as peaceful as possible to hang out all three but one evening Anna feels that she wants to hang out alone with Moa, so she asks Kristoffer to go home, quite reasonable, but Kristoffer is super hurt and actually quite offended and suddenly feels a completely unreasonable hatred towards Moa, a hatred that causes fatal and actually completely unreasonable consequences but what the hell, Kristoffer was actually super sad and didn't think at all about what consequences it would have.

I have never… is a newly written opera in the underrated verse meter villanella and is about solid friendship, passionate love and the forbidden desire to harm someone else. Can you forgive the one you love when they did something stupid to your friend? And what is being forgiven, is everything really calm after that?
