Synopsis

Set in Troldhaugen, Norway in 1860, the show follows the lives of three childhood friends: Grieg, fellow composer Rikaard Nordraak and opera singer Louisa Giovanni. Grieg’s love for his childhood sweetheart, Nina, and his country is selfishly manipulated by the scheming Louisa, who is determined to keep him from Nina by constantly using him as her pianist in world tours.
