Kluxen - Grieg's Peer Gynt
Follow the exploits of the charming, arrogant title character Peer Gynt, a Norwegian peasant who travels the world in search of his true self. Theatre Director Antony Ernst condenses Ibsen’s monumental story into an enchanting concert-length performance. You will recognize Grieg’s “hits”—Morning Mood, The Hall of the Mountain King, and Solveig’s Song—as you meet Peer, his mother, Åse; the eternally faithful Solveig, and several other famous characters. All the roles will be played by three actors, supported by the members of the Victoria Choral Society and the VS, led by Christian Kluxen.
When: Sunday, February 1, 2:30 pm
Where: Farquhar at UVic
