For the first time since its publication in 1783, Sweden’s national poet Carl Michael Bellman’s only completed stage work, the singspiel Bacchi Tempel, is performed! Directed by Patrik Sörling and with adapted instrumentation by Jonas Dominique, EARLY MUSIC SWEDEN revives a unique work in the history of Swedish performing arts.
In Bacchi Tempel we encounter Bellman’s well-known characters - Ulla Winblad, Fredman, Mollberg and Movitz - in an imaginative story filled with festivities, rituals and burlesque humour. The production is a special Early Stage project by EMS and offers audiences a rare opportunity to discover Bellman as a creator of music theatre. The soloists Staffan Liljas, bass-baritone, Mathilda Sidén Silfver, mezzo-soprano and Martin Vanberg, tenor, as well as the actor Richard Forsgren performs the leading roles, and the instrumental ensemble is led by Elin Gabrielsson.
