Portrait: Karólína Eiríksdóttir

As Karólína Eiríksdóttir´s opera MagnusMaria will have continuing new performances this fall at the City Theatre in Stockholm and the National Opera in Helsinki, Ásgerdur Júníusdóttir, mezzo-soprano and Tinna will give two concerts with Karólína´s works during that period. Ásgerdur sings one of the leading parts in the opera and together with Tinna they will premiere a new song cycle; a dream-song from the south sea, which Karólína composed especially for them to new poetry by author Sjón. Also the premiere of Snæfellsjökull steps ashore, to the poem by Steinunn Sigurdardóttir. The first concert takes place in the Norwegian Church in Stockholm on Nov. 29th at 6 pm and at the Icelandic Embassy on Dec. 1st, Iceland´s Self-governance Day, at 5 pm. The concerts are supported by the Icelandic embassies in Stockholm and Helsinki, Föreningen Nordens Stockholmsavdelning, Samfundet Sverige-Island and Icelandic Music Fund
