Alexander Rybak plays the role of the famous (and excentric) Norwegian composer and violinist Ole Bull, who was a friend and contemporary of Engebret Soot.
Ole Bull (1810-1880) has meant a lot to Alexander Rybak as a role-model and source of inspiration. Alexander Rybak plays Ole Bull in Soot-Spelet 2018 on all playing-days – Except for June 28th and June 29th, where Ole Bull will be played by a stand-in.
Engebret Soot (1786-1859) came from a humble background and did not get a formal education, but he became known as a skilled carpenter, smith and inventor. He and Ole Bull has been described as “The two biggest natural geniuses of the 19th century”.
The play was originally written in 1986 by Ole Karsten Andersen. At the premiere in 2015, rewritten and expanded by Anneli Sollie with new-written music by Henning Kvitnes and shining performances on stage, we can promise an atmospheric and memorable experience!
