The collaboration of Bjerke district with the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet during the period 2014–2017 continues in the spring of 2016, with around 70 performers from the district performing in the Oslo Opera House. The cultural work in the district has a preventative perspective, in which the cultural diversity of Groruddalen and the district are to be preserved and developed, and in this way contribute to good living conditions for those who live there.
The previous production with Zahid Ali during the winter of 2014 caused “hysterical in the Opera House”, according to the Groruddalen newspaper, and was reviewed also in Dagsavisen.
